Mariannette Miller-Meeks would like you to believe that she “unequivocally supports IVF treatment” and has “NEVER voted to restrict or ban it.” But Miller-Meeks’ actions speak louder than her words:
- In 2019, then-State Senator Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted for the same so-called personhood bill that would have jeopardized Iowa women’s access to abortion, birth control, and IVF this year.
- In 2022, Miller-Meekscosponsoredthe very same “Life at Conception Act” that isnowthreatening IVF access nationwide.
- Instead of supporting legislation that guarantees the right to IVF during her time in Congress, Miller-Meeks chose tosignonto a “useless” resolution that has no legislative power to protect fertility treatments.
- Just last month, shetold the Wall Street Journalthat she “has some concerns around the ethics of IVF.”
“Nice try,” said IDP Chair Rita Hart.
