Kari Lake denounces Arizona abortion ban that she once supported
Far-right US Senate candidate joins Republicans who have decried state supreme court ruling but who blocked appeal effort
Kari Lake, the far-right US Senate candidate and Donald Trump ally, denounced Arizona’s abortion ban on Thursday, arguing that the strict legislation she previously praised does not have the support of the state’s residents.
“This total ban on abortion the Arizona supreme court just ruled on is out of line with where the people of this state are,” she said in a video on Thursday. “I agree with President Trump – this is such a personal and private issue.”
