On Tuesday, APA President Justin Harris sent a letter to Hobbs, which was obtained by Fox News. It states that the “association is alarmed that your campaign has been endorsed by two groups, which openly support initiatives to ‘defund the police.'”
Harris notes that one of the groups is “Planned Parenthood in Arizona,” while Fox News reports the other to be NARAL Pro-Choice America. Hobbs, Arizona’s secretary of state, was “beyond honored to have the support of Planned Parenthood Arizona” after its endorsement announcement in May. Similarly, she said she was “proud to have NARAL Pro-Choice America’s” support in August.
A webpage entitled “Racial Justice,” which is part of a menu labeled “Intersectional Commitments and Supporting Policies” on NARAL Pro-Choice America’s website, states the group’s support of the defund the police movement:
NARAL Pro-Choice America supports the demands of the Movement for Black Lives, including defunding the police and investing in Black communities, which are a response to hundreds of years of systemic oppression and the failure of reforms to address urgent needs and injustices. Budgets reflect our priorities. As such, the call to defund the police is also a call for investment in Black communities—in urgent needs that are currently underfunded, like access to healthcare, education, social services, and more.
In 2020, Planned Parenthood’s Super PAC, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, announced its backing of the defund the police movement:

“Hobbs didn’t just accept Planned Parenthood of Arizona’s endorsement on the condition that she reject the support of law enforcement, she refused to comment on or condemn the policy when asked to do so by Arizona police.”
Oh oh, the HobbsIdiot spin on this should be interesting, interesting indeed.
The AZ gov race has become a game of Where’s Katie.
It seems like most Dem candidates don’t want to debate their GOP opponents. Can’t really blame them.
Their leader, Biden, has effed up this country so badly, what are they going to say to make him, and themselves, convince anyone to vote for them?
Isn’t it strange how Democrats call to “defund” your local police - over whom you still have some control, while not mentioning Federal police at all?
Its all about destroying the concept of limited and dispersed power, and pulling all power into Fed.gov and the DOJ - who have become America’s KGB.
When the steal is on, it truly is unnecessary for the DEMs to take risks. Brandon was one of the weakest candidates for POTUS in history, and yet, he sits in the White House, ruining the lives of Americans for good.
