Kari Lake Modifies Abortion Stance in Arizona Senate Race
In a strategic shift, Kari Lake, the Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, softens her previously hardline abortion stance, aligning closer to the state's current laws.
- Kari Lake, once a staunch advocate for a 6-week abortion ban, now supports Arizona's 15-week limit, calling it 'a good law.'
- Lake reverses her support for Arizona's near-total abortion ban, emphasizing state autonomy over federal intervention in abortion access.
- Critics, including Democrat Ruben Gallego and former RNC chair Michael Steele, accuse Lake of flip-flopping to gain electoral advantage.
- Lake's new position includes opposition to a federal abortion ban and support for policies aiding families, such as baby bonuses and paid family leave.
- Despite her shift, Lake's past hardline stance and recent comments have sparked skepticism about her genuine position on abortion.
