Roll Call 360 on passage of H.R. 8296, the Women’s Health Protection Act, shows Miller-Meeks voted Nay.

She voted against a federal bill that would have codified abortion access nationally, consistent with leaving regulation to states rather than Congress.

Congress.gov lists Miller-Meeks as a cosponsor of H.R. 1011, the Life at Conception Act, which declares life begins at fertilization.

This was a concrete federal effort to impose an abortion-related national rule, not to leave policy solely to the states.

Miller-Meeks introduced H.R. 8029, requiring the VA to report on abortions facilitated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

She advanced a federal abortion-related bill during the term, which undercuts a pure 'keep it at the state level' position.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promise was to keep abortion policy at the state level under Dobbs. Although Miller-Meeks made statements supporting the Dobbs state-level framework and voted against a federal bill codifying abortion access nationally, she also cosponsored the federal Life at Conception Act and introduced a federal VA abortion-related bill. Those actions are inconsistent with leaving abortion policy solely to states. Because there were serious federal legislative efforts contrary to the promised outcome, the promise should be marked as not delivered with an effort badge.
