In the Arizona governor’s race, Republican Kari Lake applauded a 1901 law that bans nearly all abortions, except to save the mother’s life.
In back-to-back interviews Oct. 9 on CBS News’"Face the Nation," the candidates exchanged barbs. Lake said Hobbs would allow a woman in labor to have an abortion, simply because she"desired" it. Hobbs fired back, saying Lake was"entirely misconstruing" her position.
"A doctor's not going to perform an abortion late in a pregnancy just because somebody decided they want one — that is ridiculous," Hobbs said ."Late-term abortion is extremely rare. And if it's being talked about, it's because something has gone incredibly wrong in a pregnancy.""She's gone on the record saying she supports Arizona's complete abortion ban," Hobbs said."She's called it a ‘great law.’"
Hobbs was referring to an Arizona abortion law that dates back to 1864 and that lawmakers carried over into a revised state code in 1901. The law was revived after the U.S. Supreme Court on June 24 overturned Roe v. Wade, the nearly 50-year-old case that established federally protected access to abortion.
Lake opposes abortion. Here, we examine whether she called a law passed even before Arizona became a state in 1912, a"great law."
