Vice-president will stage campaign event in state after its supreme court ruled 1864 ban could go into effect
Kari Lake, Arizona’s far-right US senate candidate, has also condemned the state’s abortion ban that she once supported.
In a video address released on Thursday evening, Lake said:
“This total ban on abortion the Arizona supreme court just ruled on is out of line with where the people of this state are… I agree with President Trump – this is such a personal and private issue.”
“I’m incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a great law that’s already on the books… I believe it’s ARS 13-3603, so it will prohibit abortion in Arizona except to save the life of a mother. And I think we’re going to be paving the way and setting course for other states to follow.”
