Great fodder for Dems. 
Don't let this go unnoticed:

"On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court revived an 1864, Civil War-era law, that placed a near-total ban on abortion. The only exceptions to the law are narrowly defined allowances to protect the life of a pregnant person and the legislation carries a penalty of up to five years in prison for abortion providers.
In the aftermath of the ruling, Lake, who lost her bid for Arizona’s governorship in 2022, issued a statement responding to the decision. “I oppose today’s ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support.” Lake also wrote that she agreed with former President Donald Trump’s statements earlier this week that abortion should “be determined by each individual state and her people.”
Lake’s critics, including her Democratic opponent Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) were quick to point out that she had once lauded the law that is now going into effect.
“I’m incredibly thrilled that we’re going to have a great law that is already in the books,” Lake said in June of 2022. “It will prohibit abortion in Arizona, and I think we’re going to be paving the way and setting course for other states to follow.”
