Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake opposed the ban, stating, “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.” This is a reversal for Lake, who previously praised the law.
State Rep. Matt Gress criticized the law as antiquated, saying, “This territorial law which was last upheld in 1913 bans abortion, except to save the life of the mother.
