Republican U.S. Sen. candidate Blake Masters won’t apologize for his stance on abortion after his campaign website was scrubbed of tough rhetoric surrounding the issue.
NBC News reported Thursday that Masters’ website got rid of some strong language on abortion, including a line that he was “100% pro life” and another that showed his support for “a federal personhood law (ideally a Constitutional amendment) that recognizes that unborn babies are human beings that may not be killed.”
“Go read the website. It is the most detailed, most pro-life agenda of any Senate candidate nationwide,” Masters told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Friday.
Masters has softened the harder edges of his confrontational style and moved toward the center on key issues since emerging atop a crowded GOP field in this month’s primary.
He said he’s been going on the attack to clarify his abortion stance with the general election against Democrat Mark Kelly about two months away.
The Republican posted an ad on Twitter on Thursday that said he supported commonsense regulation around abortion.
Masters also said Kelly’s abortion views were extreme, takes he has since added to his website.
Kelly called the June Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade “a giant step backward for our country.”
