Loebsack supports women’s rights

It is important for women to stand together this election because we know what works for Iowa and women's rights. Dave Loebsack stands for women's rights, and it's never been clearer than with his support for health care reform. I can't believe his female opponent would not vote for the very health care bill that finally levels the playing field for women. Mariannette Miller-Meeks has been fortunate to afford her own care and not have had catastrophic needs.

Miller-Meeks clearly doesn't understand the difficulties and disparity facing women when it comes to obtaining health coverage. Annual mammograms for preventive care and breast feeding privileges were not a guaranteed right until the current health care bill supported by Loebsack.

Women need to send him back to Congress.
