Kari Lake flips yet again as she hits opponents of Civil War era abortion law

Raw Story  

Arizona Senate hopeful Kari Lake appears to have changed her position on the state's Civil War era total abortion ban — again. Immediately after the Republican-controlled state Supreme Court allowed the ban — which was passed decades before Arizona even became a state and makes no exceptions other than to save the life of the pregnant woman — to be enforced, Lake came out with a statement condemning the decision, saying, "it is abundantly clear that the pre-statehood law is out of step with Arizonans." “We don’t have that law, as much as many of us wish we did.” Lake, a former Phoenix news anchor, first came on the scene when former President Donald Trump backed her in the 2022 gubernatorial election against Democratic then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. She is currently running to challenge Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego for the open Senate seat, which is being vacated by outgoing independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema after she declined to seek re-election.
