(Rebecca Noble/Getty Images)(WASHINGTON) The Arizona Supreme Court s decision on Tuesday to uphold a near-total abortion ban predating Arizona s statehood has drawn differing reactions from state Republicans who previously claimed to be "100% pro-life" while both local and national Democrats vowed to push to protect abortion access in one of the most politically important states on the 2024 map.Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to travel to Tucson on Friday for her "Fight for Reproductive Freedoms," where she s expected to continue to squarely blame former President Donald Trump for appointing three of the justices who voted in 2022 to overrule Roe v. Wade s national guarantees to abortion access.Since then, efforts to either protect or expand abortion rights have succeeded in both red and blue states around the country when put up directly for a vote.
Even Kari Lake, the GOP senate candidate, opposes a total ban. It’s a striking change for Republicans: After decades of tactical advances in the fight to ban abortions, they’re engaging in tactical retreats.
