Ahead of Dobbs Anniversary, A Reminder of Zach Lahn’s Extreme Record Restricting Reproductive Freedom
Lahn wants to “do more” to restrict reproductive freedom, opposes IVF, and would threaten access to contraception
DES MOINES – Ahead of the four-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision tomorrow, a reminder that career political operative and Kansas carpetbagger Zach Lahn is running to rip away Iowans’ reproductive freedoms. Lahn’s dangerous record includes opposing IVF and fertility treatments, and he wants to go even further than Kim Reynolds’ ban on abortion before most women even know they’re pregnant — which is already one of the most extreme in the country.
Zach Lahn’s extreme record on reproductive freedom is dangerous for Iowa:
- Lahn wants to go even further than Reynolds on ripping away reproductive freedoms, saying “we could do more to protect life.”
- Lahn supports an abortion ban from conception without exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother, which would put access to birth control and IVF in jeopardy.
- Lahn bragged about being “banned for life” from a fertility clinic and said his opposition to abortion extends to IVF and other fertility treatments.
- Lahn opposed allowing Iowans to obtain medication abortion by mail.
- Lahn attended the Iowa March for Life, campaigning with a group that wants to ban abortion outright and believes that “IVF violates human dignity.”
- Lahn spent years as a career political operative working to elect extreme anti-abortion lawmakers.
From Iowa Democratic Party spokesperson Terra Hernandez:
“After a decade of one-party rule, Iowa women are struggling to get care under one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country — but Kansas carpetbagger Zach Lahn wants to go even further. Lahn is running to ban abortion outright without exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother, and he would rip away access to birth control and IVF while he’s at it. Iowa women can’t trust Lahn with their most fundamental freedoms.”
