I’m proud to have joined @krismayes today to condemn the Pima County Superior Court's decision to uphold a territorial-era ban on abortion. This law is cruel, life-threatening, and under this ban, it's Arizona women and families who will suffer most. 🧵 1/7 
@krismayes This extreme law outlaws abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest and is a devastating blow to Arizonans’ reproductive freedoms. Under this law, government mandated forced births are Arizona’s new reality – and there is no hope of recourse if Kari Lake is elected. 2/7
@krismayes Additionally, this law means that abortion providers can be thrown in jail for providing reproductive care. Doctors and nurses will now be forced to think twice and call their lawyer before they provide patients with necessary, and oftentimes life-saving, medical care. 3/7
@krismayes I know from experience how hard it is to lose a pregnancy. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I was told the medical care I needed at the time of my miscarriage could be considered a crime & land my doctor in prison.
That’s the new reality under this ban. 4/7
That’s the new reality under this ban. 4/7
@krismayes Make no mistake, if Kari Lake is elected, she will support this law’s extreme restrictions and use her power to enact more anti-choice policies that put our health and freedoms on the line. 5/7
@krismayes When I’m governor, I will never risk women’s fundamental freedom to make our own health care decisions. If any legislation that restricts the right to choose comes to me, I will use my veto pen to block it — period. 6/7
@krismayes The majority of Arizonans support the right to a safe, legal abortion and this decision is a direct affront to what voters want. This #Roevember, we’re going to elect pro-choice candidates up & down the ballot and fight like women’s lives are on the line – because they are. 7/7
