Congressional District hopeful Christina Bohannan defended abortion rights and took aim at Marianette Miller-Meeks’ stance after speaking with University of Iowa medical students on Monday.
Bohannan challenged the first congressional district representative on her abortion voting record in an interview with the Press-Citizen after a forum about medical misinformation and new legislation.
Bohannan, a law professor and former state representative, pledges to support women’s rights.
“Over and over and over, (Miller-Meeks) has signed on to every abortion ban that has ever been put in front of her and has completely disregarded women’s freedom and their privacy and their health,” Bohannan said.
Bohannon was joined by Abbey Hardy-Fairbanks, the medical director of the Emma Goldman Clinic, at Monday’s event on the University of Iowa campus. The duo touched on various subjects, focusing on helping patients with laws they disagree with.
