ARIZONA -– For the five days remaining until the GOP Senate primary, the Arizona Democratic Party will be setting the record straight on Kari Lake’s dangerous abortion policy that is out of step with Arizonans.
Kari Lake will do or say anything to gain power, including pushing the draconian 1864 ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest, and would put doctors in jail for simply providing healthcare.
Here’s five times Kari Lake supported the 1864 ban on abortion:
Reporter: “We are one week out from the primary here in our state and that means that candidates are making their last minute appeals. On July 25th, state Democrats held a news conference focused on abortion.”
Francesca Martin: “Republicans up and down the ballot across the state, just like Kari Lake, support enforcing that same 1864 abortion ban without exceptions for rape and incest. They support the ruling that instilled fear and panic in my fellow classmates within seconds.”
