As the House prepares to vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, Hinson and Miller-Meeks must tell Iowa voters where they stand
Silence speaks volumes, and on protecting reproductive freedom and the constitutional right to an abortion, it appears Reps. Hinson and Miller-Meeks have lost their tongues.
As the House gets set to vote on legislation that would take the long-overdue step of codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade and affirm nearly 50 years of Supreme Court precedent, Iowans deserve to know if their representative will stand with them and the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion.
This legislation could not be more urgent, after Texas Republicans passed a dead-of-the-night, radical bounty-hunting abortion ban that controls people’s decisions and criminalizes doctors who provide care for their patients. This is the loudest alarm yet that abortion access is in grave danger, in Texas and across the country. While the Texas bill is extreme, it’s part of the Republican agenda to end access to abortion in this country.
Reps. Hinson and Miller-Meeks should know: All eyes are on them tomorrow as they choose to either stand up for Iowans’ freedom to make their own personal health care decisions, or once again prove that they are completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.
DCCC Spokesperson Elena Kuhn:
“To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Reps. Hinson and Miller-Meeks have gone dead silent at a time when their constituents need them the most. Reps. Hinson and Miller-Meeks have a choice: stand up for Iowans’ freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, or answer for their radical attacks on reproductive health care at the ballot box in 2022.”
