A local Arizona news outlet published a story last week highlighting remarks the Republican Senate candidate and election denier Kari Lake made to a crowd at an event put on by the Mohave County
Republicans in critical Congressional races are reshaping their stance on prohibiting abortion, in some cases backing away from stricter limits on the procedure in the wake of public backlash.
Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake said in an interview with an Idaho media outlet that "unfortunately," her state's near-total abortion ban dating from 1864 is not being enforced, flipping back on comments she made against the law earlier this month, when she called state legislators asking them to repeal it. In an interview with the Idaho Dispatch on Saturday, Lake described the recent court decision upholding the 1864 law: “The Arizona Supreme Court said this is the law of Arizona. But...
Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Kyrsten Sinema, is having a very difficult time figuring out just what it is she stands for, depending upon who she’s talking to. That’s leading her to swing wildly from the far-right fringes steeped in conspiracy theories to trying to put on a “moderate” face to consolidate support. Abortion is the most obvious example of Lake’s confusion, where she’s flip-flopped between absolute bans, allowing each individual...

Shope — joined all 14 Democrats in the narrowly divided Senate in approving a repeal...

The Yellowjackets lead the UMAC by a half-game over Bethany Lutheran and a full game ahead of Northwestern, which they beat on Thursday.
The Arizona Supreme Court recently ruled to stay a total abortion ban, and Kari Lake’s moderate response drew criticism from pro-lifers — including Allie Beth Stuckey. The court had allowed an 1864 statute banning abortion to stand, which Lake called “out of line with where the people of this state are.” “This very moderate, sophisticated, pragmatic, pseudo-compassionate stance that we actually need to be much more middle of the road on abortion,” Stuckey says, is “absolutely egregious.” ...
