Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake criticizes the Arizona Supreme Court ruling that bans nearly all abortions, calling for a common-sense solution. Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs and state Legislature are urged to find a resolution. The ruling enforces an 1864 code that only allows abortions to save the mother's life, without exceptions for cases of rape or incest.

Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake released a statement on Tuesday opposing an Arizona Supreme Court ruling that bans nearly all abortions, with exceptions only to save the mother's life.She called on her bitter rival, Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, and the state Legislature 'to come up with an immediate common-sense solution that Arizonans can support.' She added: 'Ultimately, Arizona voters will make the decision on the ballot come November.

If that happens, we will be a state where we will not be taking the lives of our unborn anymore,' Lake said about the 1864 ban potentially taking effect if Roe was overturned.Lake, a Donald Trump-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate, is vying for independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema's seat, along with Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego. Sinema announced last month that she would not seek reelection.On Tuesday, Lake said she agreed with Trump's recent statement on the abortion issue.
