Arizona Dem gov nominee Katie Hobbs appears to support abortion up to birth
Fox News
During a Sunday TV appearance, Democratic Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs evaded answering whether she was in favor of placing no bans on abortion.
Hobbs, who currently serves as Arizona's Secretary of State, said Lake had misconstrued her position and said late-term abortion is "extremely rare."

"If it’s being talked about, it’s because something has gone incredibly wrong in the pregnancy. A doctor’s not going to perform an abortion late in pregnancy just because somebody decided they want one. That is ridiculous," Hobbs said before suggesting that Arizonans would have "government-mandated forced births that risk women’s lives" under a Kari Lake administration.
Asked what her administration’s week limit for abortion access would be, Hobbs evaded answering directly saying that abortion "is a very personal decision that belongs between a woman and her doctor."
