DES MOINES — Zach Nunn reaffirmed his support for a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions during a recent interview with We Are Iowa Local News 5.
During the interview, the host asks Nunn: “So, I know that was 2022. Why did you raise your hand then, and why has the stance changed a little bit now?”
The question refers to the time Zach Nunn raised his hand when he was asked if he supports a national abortion ban, no exceptions during a 2022 primary debate.
Nunn responded to the ABC 5 host by saying: “So the good news is that the stance has never changed. It’s how I’ve voted. It’s been consistent ever since I’ve been in the state legislature.”
Watch the exchange here. The full interview is available here.
Nunn voted for a bill in the state legislature that would jeopardize Iowa women’s access to abortion, birth control and IVF. In Congress, he refused to sign onto a bill that would protect the right to IVF or contraception.
Nunn also voted for a constitutional amendment in the state legislature that could eliminate the right to an abortion in Iowa with no exceptions.
“Zach Nunn has said it himself twice – he supports a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions. His voting record shows he’s not lying,” said IDP Spokesperson Paige Godden. “Zach Nunn has voted to ban abortion at a state level and jeopardize Iowa women’s access to birth control and IVF. His views on abortion are dangerous and too extreme for Iowa.”
