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
After former President Donald Trump and Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake distanced themselves from the law, some abortion rights opponents are left wondering who they can count on.
After a conservative majority of the Arizona Supreme Court ruled April 9 to uphold an antiquated near-total abortion ban from 1864, the shockwaves on both sides of the political aisle were immediate and obvious. Democrats decried the court’s decision, vowing to redouble efforts to pass an amendment to the state’s constitution. If passed, the Arizona Abortion Access Act would effectively negate the court’s ruling and guarantee abortion access to all Arizona citizens. Republicans faced a far...
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.

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...
Kari Lake has attached herself to Donald Trump like a stubborn barnacle on an old rusty ship. She even camped out at Mar-a-Lago this year to fundraise for her Arizona Senate campaign.
