Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake said she opposes the implementation of an Arizona abortion law she previously called “great.”
Well on Tuesday it did, and Lake is now attempting to reverse course as Republicans continue to face electoral backlash in the aftermath of, Civil War-era law, that placed a near-total ban on abortion. The only exceptions to the law are narrowly defined allowances to protect the life of a pregnant person and the legislation carries a penalty of up to five years in prison for abortion providers.
In the aftermath of the ruling, Lake, who lost her bid for Arizona’s governorship in 2022, issued a statement responding to the decision. “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.” Lake also wrote that she agreed with former President Donald Trump’sLake’s critics, including her Democratic opponent Rep.
“I’m incredibly thrilled that we’re going to have a great law that is already in the books,” Lake said in June of 2022. “It will prohibit abortion in Arizona, and I think we’re going to be paving the way and setting course for other states to follow.” She called this law a “great law” – even though it will ban nearly all abortions, including in cases of rape or incest.During the 2022 Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary debate, Lake stated that her “personal belief is that all life matters.
Just like the former president she idolizes, Lake is learning just how hard it is to outrun her record on reproductive rights. Joaquin Phoenix, Elliott Gould, Chloe Fineman and More Jewish Creatives Support Jonathan Glazer's Oscars Speech in Open Letter 7 hours ago
