Kari Lake and a top GOP senator try to reset Senate race on border security, not abortion

U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake said Friday that Arizona’s newly reaffirmed, Civil War-era, near-total abortion ban is “not the law.”

“We’ve got an (Arizona attorney general) who’s not going to enforce many laws on the books,” Lake, a Republican, told reporters outside her Phoenix campaign offices.

“I find it unfortunate that our AG doesn’t enforce other laws as well, but this is a law, to be honest guys, this is a piece of paper; it’s not the law," she said. "People have been treating it thinking that it is the law, but it’s not the law. There’s no enforcement. It’s not the law.”
