Kari Lake flips on Arizona abortion ban, says ‘unfortunately’ it’s not being enforced
The Hill ^ | 04/23/2024 | NATHANIEL WEIXEL

Posted on 04/23/2024 11:42:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republican Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake in an interview with an Idaho media outlet expressed disappointment that her state’s 1864 law banning nearly all abortions is not being enforced, backtracking on comments she made earlier this month when she said the resurrected measure went too far.

“The Arizona Supreme Court said this is the law of Arizona. But unfortunately, the people running our state have said we’re not going to enforce it,” Lake said in a video interview with the Idaho Dispatch on Saturday.

“We don’t have that law, as much as many of us wish we did,” she added.

Lake’s campaign did not immediately respond to questions about her comments, which came in response to criticism from the anti-abortion group Idaho Chooses Life.

She’s not flipflopping.
She is saying that there is nothing she can do about it, because the issue doesn’t have the backing of the people.

The people want abortion.

What can she or Trump do about it when they’re not even in a political office?

Kari Lake is saying-

- The Arizona Abortion Ban is states issue and she has nothing to do with it because it is a states and she is running for a federal position.

- Katie Hobbs needs to deal with the consequences of the law.

- Until the law is changed, it is the law and it needs to be enforced.

Seems like a pretty reasonable position to me.

Get crackin’ on that one straight away Katie.

The people do not want abortion. Saying they want it is parroting the liberal narrative.

Headline, article, and her intent are not clear.

She is flipflopping. First she said it was a great law then she said she was opposed to it. She said she hopes the legislature will come up with a “common sense” law!

No. People want abortion to be legal Absolutely

There’s nothing wrong with the old abortion law it’s opposed to killing

People are people when they’re conceived. The mates traight out of any gospel. It’s Gospel truth

But Americans eat it to be legal.

Show me a single Republican politician who is a staunch Pro-right and is securely electable. How many seats do you think being staunch pro-life can win?

I don’t view her as flipflopping, because I recognize that there is nothing she can do. She’s trying to say she’s prolife without the media putting her in the same camp as David Koresh.

Utterly false. That was the phony narrative used by the left to cover up their 2022 fraud.

No. They voted for it in Ohio and in Alabama.

Typical sHill taking her statements out of context.

This whole abortion issue was purposefully brought to the forefront by RINOs who are so desperate to defeat MAGA that they are doing everything to help the commies get into power.
