FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 9, 2024
Phoenix, AZ – Following today’s Arizona Supreme Court’s abortion ruling, Kari Lake released the following statement:
“In addition to covering the state of Arizona as a fair and honest journalist for 27 years, I have traveled to every corner of this state on the campaign trail. I speak to more Arizonans than anyone and it is abundantly clear that the pre-statehood law is out of step with Arizonans.
I am the only woman and mother in this race. I understand the fear and anxiety of pregnancy, and the joy of motherhood. I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump — this is a very personal issue that should be determined by each individual state and her people. 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.
As your Senator, I will OPPOSE:
– Federal funding for abortion
– Federal ban(s) on abortion
As your Senator, I will FIGHT FOR:
– Baby Bonuses
– Making adoption more accessible and affordable
– Strengthening the economy so that Mothers can AFFORD a baby
– Protecting IVF
– Extending the child tax credit
– Paid family leave
– Investing in childcare
I am not going to D.C. to legislate an issue that has been returned to the states. I am going to D.C. to secure our border, strengthen our families and help President Trump Make America Great Again.”
What is this even supposed to mean?
"I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support."
Obviously she is running for federal office but that's a very convenient dodge.
the people of Arizona will side with Life and the 1864 law.
Embryo in the womb = person
Embryo in cold storage = clump of cells
They’re all hypocrites and liars.
Good on Kari.👍
“Another politician who is terrified to take a pro-life position.”
No. She understands the voters of Arizona better than you do. You’d rather she lose to a Democrat and help give the Democrats a Senate majority.
There is no way she is going to get a majority of Arizona voters to take a purist pro-life position, and she knows it. I’d rather have her in the Senate, joining us on issues she can joing us, than her giving the seat to a Dim.
You can’t win on being pro-life and virtue signaling on pro-life is useless if that issue will keep.you out of office where you could actually do something
[eye roll]
Plenty of anti-America types who don’t understand and hate our Constitution will try to make this sound like Kari Lake is not pro-life.
What is a “common sense solution” to tearing off the head of a baby to abort it??
To come out and "oppose" the ruling will be the death-knell for her campaign.
She instead should have ignored addressing the ruling directly and stated all of the ways she would fight to serve all in the state.

0.0% chance
The issue is mostly moot. No Government is going to be able to stop the abortion pill.
Eye roll all you want, it is true.
So Kari...baby killing is okay with you as long as it doesn’t use Federal Funds...Well guess who pays for it.
So the women that get abortions probably wish there were birth control methods that could keep them from getting pregnant so they wouldn’t have to kill the baby that they are responsible for bringing into this world ... Riiiiiiight
I will vote republican from hell, but until I die, I am seeking heaven.
The 1864 law was modified in 1913 to take in account the health of the mother.
Sounds like a good position to me.
She’s not saying that. What good is a pro-life position if it means that you can never win office to make other changes?
If every Republican went hardcore pro-life, the United States would be a socialist nation after a single election and have a national law on abortion that permits it right until birth.
