Kari Lake: State Supreme Court Got Abortion Ruling Wrong, Opposes Ban

"I am the only woman and mother in this race. I understand the fear and anxiety of pregnancy, and the joy of motherhood. I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump - this is a very personal issue that should be determined by each individual state and her people," she continued. "I oppose today's ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support."

"Ultimately, Arizona voters will make the decision on the ballot come November," she said, before highlighting that she supports leaving the issue to the states and did not plan on pursuing federal abortion legislation.

Interesting. Like I wrote earlier, this will likely get addressed by the state legislature as soon as they can get to it. In a state as purple as Arizona has been lately and with Democrats in nearly every constitutional office, I'd expect the 1864 law to get repealed soon. Lake's opposition may facilitate that, but what will replace it?
