Kari Lake just pivoted on abortion (somebody must be reading the polls)
OPINION: After a year of calling for abortion to be outlawed, Kari Lake now says it'd be "wonderful" if abortion was legal as long it is rare.

"SNIP.......
Well, it took awhile, but it appears that Kari Lake is learning from the master.
Blake Masters, that is, the Senate candidate who, upon winning his Republican primary, promptly gave a scrub-a-dub to his views on abortion.
Like Masters, Kari Lake has been a stanch advocate of outlawing abortion. Or she was.
There she was last year, extolling the virtues of Texas heartbeat bill, which bans abortion after detection of a heartbeat, about six weeks -- even in the case of rape or incest. Lake called for Arizona to join Texas in having what was then the most restrictive abortion law in the land

(21,871 posts)I mean they have been screaming at the top of their lungs all year about banning abortion and jailing or suing women or doctors or uber drivers.....
now all of a sudden they pivot.
whatever gets them the votes, they don't really give a shit about abortion.
