Miller-Meeks Refuses To Answer For Iowa’s Abortion Ban

Despite working relentlessly to ban abortion in Iowa and across the country, Mariannette Miller-Meeks has refused to say a word about last week's Iowa Supreme Court ruling upholding the state's dangerous near-total abortion ban.

Miller-Meeks knows her record is out of touch; that's why she's refusing to answer for anti-abortion attacks she laid the groundwork for, and instead is trying to mislead Southeast Iowans.

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 doesn't want Iowans to know that she got exactly what she wanted - abortion banned in Iowa before most women even know they're pregnant. She can try to hide her anti-abortion extremism, but her record makes clear that she won't stop until abortion is banned nationwide."
