The Dobbs decision turned the decision back to the states, which is where it currently resides.
Keep abortion policy at the state level under the Dobbs framework.
Occurrences
I would support going back to the law in Iowa that we had before all of this started.
Evidence
Miller-Meeks said the Supreme Court had returned abortion regulation to 'State legislators and voters within the individual States.'
Roll Call 360 on passage of H.R. 8296, the Women’s Health Protection Act, shows Miller-Meeks voted Nay.
Congress.gov lists Miller-Meeks as a cosponsor of H.R. 1011, the Life at Conception Act, which declares life begins at fertilization.
Miller-Meeks introduced H.R. 8029, requiring the VA to report on abortions facilitated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Assessments
Miller-Meeks took some same-term actions consistent with the promise, including publicly endorsing the Dobbs state-level framework and voting against a federal bill to codify abortion access nationwide. But her record was not a clean effort to keep abortion policy solely at the state level: she also cosponsored the federal Life at Conception Act and introduced a federal abortion-related VA reporting bill, both of which materially involve federal policymaking on abortion. Because her conduct was mixed rather than a consistent delivery of a state-only approach, partial credit fits better than delivered or never.
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.
