Kari Lake said she opposes the decision but previously supported the law.
Rebecca Noble/Getty Images, FILEhas drawn differing reactions from state Republicans who previously claimed to be "100% pro-life" while both local and national Democrats vowed to push to protect abortion access in one of the most politically important states on the 2024 map.
She argued Trump would sign a federal abortion ban if elected again and "if he has the opportunity," though Trump this week put out a new statement insisting that he wants to leave the choice to individual states -- without specifying what he would do on a national ban. "I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump — this is a very personal issue that should be determined by each individual state and her people," Lake said in a statement Tuesday. "I oppose today's ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support. Ultimately, Arizona voters will make the decision on the ballot come November.
Former Republican Gov. Doug Ducey posted on social media that the decision was not his "preferred" outcome and urged elected leaders to find "a policy that is workable and reflective of our electorate." However, Ducey also appointed the four justices who supported the court's majority in the opinion.
"This is not what Arizonans want, and women could die because of it," Gallego said in a statement. "Yet again, extremist politicians like Kari Lake are forcing themselves into doctors' offices and ripping away the right for women to make their own healthcare decisions," adding he's "committed to doing whatever it takes to protect abortion rights at the federal level."Voters may have a chance to weigh in on abortion access directly in November.
