“After remaining consistent for nearly a decade, Ciscomani’s stance on restrictive abortion laws quickly evolved as backlash for the total ban’s reinstatement grew.”
ARIZONA- On May 9th, The Copper Courier exposed Juan Ciscomani’s long anti-abortion record which includes supporting the Life at Conception Act, co-sponsoring H.R. 7, legislation that prohibits using government subsidies, including tax credits, to purchase insurance plans that cover abortions, and handpicking the AZ Supreme Court that brought us back to 1864.
“Juan is an abortion extremist. His first action in Congress was pushing an anti-abortion agenda, a continuation of the work he did to bring Arizona towards the 1864 ban,” said Chairwoman of the Arizona Democratic Party Yolanda Bejarano. “Juan Ciscomani is the reason an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, prosecutes doctors and providers, and makes it so that Arizonans would have to travel drive 500+ miles for abortion care is on the books. Arizonans know that he has been lying about his abortion record and will hold him accountable this November.”
