Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is again attacking her opponent Katie Hobbs, this time for Hobbs’ claim that Lake wants to criminalize a procedure that woman often need after a miscarriage.
“When I had a miscarriage, I needed surgery to protect my own health,” Hobbs said in a tweet. “That lifesaving treatment was the same procedure that’s commonly used for abortions — a procedure that Kari Lake wants to criminalize. As Governor, I won’t let that happen.”
Lake’s campaign responded by asking its followers to report Hobbs’ tweet as misinformation, adding that conflating abortion and miscarriages could do harm to the public.
“Equating a D&C with an abortion?” Lake’s campaign tweeted. “Katie is willing to falsify her own tragedy & basic medical facts to scare women into voting for her.”
