KEY POINT: “‘Abortion is banned in Arizona thanks to Donald Trump. He won’t stop until it’s banned nationwide,’ five billboards will read, some in English and others in Spanish.”

Arizona Republic: National Democrats hit Trump and Schweikert for backtracking on reproductive rights
[By Laura Gersony 4/11/24]

• National Democratic groups are seizing the opportunity to highlight Republicans’ shifting rhetoric on abortion rights after the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a near-total ban on abortion.
• They are taking aim at candidates in several of Arizona’s top-of-the-ticket races.
• On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee will launch a billboard campaign in the Phoenix and Tempe areas alleging that Trump is responsible for Tuesday’s ruling.
• “Abortion is banned in Arizona thanks to Donald Trump. He won’t stop until it’s banned nationwide,” five billboards will read, some in English and others in Spanish.
• In a platform released on Monday, Trump called for state-level laws on the issue rather than a national one, though he has suggested his support for a national law in the past.
• Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the DNC’s allegation.
