ARIZONA – In recognition of the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Arizona Democratic Party highlighted Kari Lake’s dangerous record on abortion– a yearslong extreme record captured on camera, including everything from Lake’s celebration of the fall of Roe to support for banning abortions without exceptions for rape or incest for Arizonans. Lake says her positions on abortion “haven’t changed, actually.”
Here’s a reminder of Kari Lake’s views on abortion which “haven’t changed, actually:”
- Before Roe v. Wade was overturned. Lake said, “I joined Congressman Gosar in praying for God’s guidance to the Supreme Court and an end to this national disgrace created under Roe v Wade.”
- She is “100% pro-life,” and believes that there should be no federal right to an abortion, and that the Dobbs decision “corrected a 50 year wrong.”
- She is “incredibly thrilled” about Arizona’s 1864 “draconian” territorial ban on abortion which has no exceptions for rape or incest.
- She has called abortion “murder” and “almost a genocide.”
- She doesn’t believe in “any” abortions and supports the Texas abortion ban that allows for abortion “bounty hunters” and has put women’s lives in danger.
- She believes that an abortion is “not a medical choice.”
- She believes in “banning those types of abortion pills” in reference to medication abortions.
- She believes that abortion is “not health care,” that it is a “sacrifice” and an “execution.”
- She calls herself “100% pro-life” and says abortion is an “execution […] pure and simple.”
