Miller-Meeks Dismisses Her Dangerous Attacks on Iowans’ Reproductive Freedom

In a new interview, Miller-Meeks tried to downplay her extreme anti-choice record, falsely claiming it's a "disservice to people who are struggling" to call attacks on Iowans' reproductive freedom a top issue.

After laying the groundwork for the Iowa abortion ban that's forcing women to flee the state for care and now working relentlessly to ban it nationwide, Miller-Meeks is desperate to shift the conversation from her out-of-touch record.

In the state legislature, Miller-Meeks threatened access to abortion, contraception, and IVF and voted for a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the right to an abortion in Iowa.

Now, she's taking her agenda nationwide; she co-sponsored a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the woman's life and has voted repeatedly to restrict reproductive freedom across the country, including legislation imprisoning doctors who perform abortions and blocking reproductive health care access for members of the armed services.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Mariannette Miller-Meeks will do anything to take the spotlight off her record of attacking reproductive freedom but Iowans know the truth - Miller-Meeks thinks politicians should make personal health care decisions for women and she won't stop until abortion is banned nationwide."
