Report: Lake Lobbying for Repeal of AZ 1864 Abortion Law
The Spin
Lake, an election denier and a conspiracy theorist, can now add hypocrite to her list of descriptors. She lost her governor's race by a slim margin and is desperate to seem moderate enough to gain a few votes in her Senate race. But what she should be saying isn't that the 1864 should be repealed, but why her stance has changed since her 2022 interview. She owes the voters at least that much.
It's easy to see where Lake's position on abortion has shifted for the better and in line with much of the American electorate. Obviously, there must be more exceptions than the 1864 law provides. By overturning Roe v. Wade, SCOTUS rightly turned responsibility for abortion restrictions to the states. But the states should determine their abortion laws with the will of the people in mind.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 3% chance that elective abortion will be banned nationally in the US before Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
