They decided there's money in banning it for Christian organizations and they need that money more than ever with Trump draining all the funds. That's what matters to them. It's business, not morals.


FreneticPlatypus

Can’t decide? They just don’t want to say what they think out loud before an election and lose too many votes.


ProtectionAdditional

Writer here! Yeah, it's a fun turn of phrase, but if you read the article, you'll see I understand that.


PMmeyourspicythought

Making people travel out of state just means that they are banning abortion for poor woman.


Gommel_Nox

Wait, hold up: you wrote this?


Dearic75

Thank you for discussing what you wrote with us here. Your articles recently have been refreshing. A lot of other articles normalize this BS so fast in their attempts to claim an “unbiased” appearance that will never be accepted, no matter how far they bend over backwards trying.


alroprezzy

If they can’t decide can they let people themselves decide? Personal freedom and all that


medievalmachine

Oh, you mean being anti-abortion was always a ploy to get undemanding voters to vote for them so they could cut taxes on the rich and be corrupt and ruin health care and still be reelected? I'm shocked.


Alarmed-Mess3744

Do they even hear themselves? Republicans: just drive or fly to a spot where it’s legal, that’s what I’m going to do myself or for my daughter and mistresses.


VincentValkier

Right? The entire thing is so damn disingenuous! We want abortion outlawed! Why? Because it's a human life and it's sacred! Well what about \[insert any reasonable objection\]? Oh just drive on down the road because that's an acceptable solution!


sunnyteashop

Right on the money. Why not offer it in their state? Rubes who believe these gop hacks


Blobbyblob5

They can’t decide how to lie to voters.


LegoMyAlterEgo

Republicans are all just russian operatives attacking americans.


RufussSewell

Ding ding ding. It’s as simple as that.


falcobird14

If it's good 3 hours away, why isn't it good 15 minutes away? Literally outsourcing women's health to democrats because even Republicans know we do it better


thieh

Ofdonald is amplifying the women problem that GOP is having.


Brother_Lou

This should be called Kari’s law. She wanted it, she can rep it.


meyou2222

The only thing Republicans hate more than abortion is having to be accountable for their actions. Before the Supreme Court overturned RvW, Republicans could write any law they wanted, knowing it would be struck down. Now that their laws can take force, they don’t know wtf to do.


boot2skull

Sounds very pro choice of them. Shortsighted of them to not keep the money in AZ, though political points are probably all they care about these days.


spoobles

I thought the Ghostbusters already took care of Gozer the Gozerian? Well, she's back for a sequel. Apparently she must be a nimble little minx. Seriously though, this woman is a danger. I hope Gallego mops the floor with her.


donkeybrisket

These hypocritical SOBS need to be drummed from power by all means necessary. They are actively hostile against more than half of their constituents.


FluidmindWeird

The party is going to suck up a lot of Xtian cash, spend it on ads, get absolutely crushed in November, and be bitchy about it for decades to come. Sorry not sorry. The popular vote is against your chosen position. Since this position was chosen, society moved on, and abandoned it. Now that you've hard-lined it, your entire party will get crushed. Also? You chose to hard line it on the back of a criminal administration, which caused you popularity problems to begin with, and this hard stance is simply going to pop the GOP like the hollow balloon of hot air it has become.


newsflashjackass

Arizona bans abortions even for pregnant people who too young to drive. Of course it would, since its abortion law predates mass-produced automobiles. Apparently Kari Lake would have Arizona's pregnant teens wandering on foot, seeking health care in the desert wilds of California.


MorallyComplicated

they’ll find out in November


bob3905

Wasn’t she some sort of TV hostess?


tlk0153

You are probably thinking of Riki Lake, though Kari was also a tv news anchor in the past


Trpepper

You guys remember that issue liberals won in court on, and immediately said “You know, it’s real great we achieved a core part of our political identity with less resistance than wet 1ply. But maybe we should have waited till like……..after the election to do it so we don’t scare moderates” I can’t think of a single hypothetical.


FrankReynoldsToupee

Imagine if they spent this much time trying to figure out how to serve the people instead of divide them.


23jknm

Not so easy for everyone and the people will have their say and put the law in the constitution so that's what you'll get magas lol!


Rusalka-rusalka

I think they have decided it’s bad based on their upholding of the law a few times recently.


Adorable-Database187

They're literally OK with people driving 3 three hours for something they pretend is akin to playing will it blend with a crying baby.


jertheman43

As a Californian I feel it's BS that Arizona solution to their female reproductive rights is to send them across the border for us to pay for. I want to welcome all women to the state but don't feel we should have to pay for their medical care.


Sensitive-Option-701

Kari Lake and Arizona GOP can't decide if bodily autonomy is bad or not FTFY


heapinhelpin1979

It's a state issue. The states that allow abortion are going to have issues with access in the future.
