Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake is up against a political 'disaster' in Arizona after the state's Supreme Court upheld a near-total abortion ban , political experts told Newsweek. Arizona became the center of the national abortion debate on Tuesday when its high court upheld an 1864 law that bans all procedures except in cases when 'it is necessary to save' the life of the mother. Those found guilty of violating the ban could face two to five years in state prison.
In the two years since the Supreme Court's conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal access to abortion, the GOP has struggled to win elections that they had been expected to win as Democrats have rallied voters to the polls on the issue. The 2022 midterms saw the highest number of ballot measures on abortion in a single year, and every single state that put the issue on the ballot affirmed the right to the procedure.
