(Johnston, IA) — The two candidates running in Iowa’s new first congressional district outlined their opposing views on abortion during their only joint campaign appearance. Incumbent Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks of LeClaire cited her support for a bill that would ban abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. Democrat Christina Bohannan of Iowa City supports reinstating Roe-V-Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. She called the proposed 15-week ban “one of the worst examples of government overreach” and “will put women’s lives at risk.” The candidates participated in an hour-long Iowa Press debate on Iowa P-B-S last (Monday) night.
