Kari Lake, who’s closely aligned with Donald Trump, has been striking a different tone on reproductive rights as the issue becomes increasingly visible.
Republican candidate Kari Lake, who was vying to be governor, called abortion the “ultimate sin” and praised a 160-year-old Arizona measure that virtually outlawed abortion as “a great law.”
Since Tuesday’s ruling, Lake has called on Hobbs and the GOP-led state legislature to come together on a solution. In a 5½-minute campaign video released Thursday, Lake sought to appeal to the majority of the state,the near-total abortion ban — which invokes an 1864 law that states that anyone who administers an abortion could face a mandatory prison sentence of two years to five years — is “out of line with where the people of this state are.
Arizona’s ruling — and Republicans’s response to it — have again highlighted the electoral challenge the GOP faces over their party’s record onera has been a winning stance for Democrats, and ballot measures to expand abortion access have been successful, even in Republican-dominated states. At the same time, Republicans like Lake are finding they have had to revisit what they’ve said about the issue in the past.
Lake who remains the front-runner ahead of the state’s GOP primary this summer, will then probably face off against Gallego, a member of Congress from Phoenix. He and other Democrats are seizing the opportunity to Lake may also be losing some of her core supporters and antiabortion activists as she struggles for a more moderate message. Steve Deace, an Iowa-based conservative talk show host,on X this week that he was “extremely disappointed” by Lake’s opposition to the ruling. “In 2022, I thought Kari Lake was one of the best candidates I’ve ever seen, and said so. Now she is almost completely unrecognizable from the candidate she was then, just two years later,” he wrote.
