Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday that last week’s Arizona Supreme Court ruling banning nearly all abortions in the state is a result of actions former President Trump took while in office.
“Let me start by saying this has been a disaster for women in Arizona. They’ve lost a fundamental right to abortion, and it’s all because of Donald Trump,” Kelly said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
“Donald Trump owns this. He said just yesterday that he broke Roe v. Wade, and because he did that, this enabled our court to bring back this draconian 1864 law to take away this right, send doctors to jail,” Kelly added.
Remember though, the tankies will tell you that bOtH siDeS are the same. They’re provably not.

I would ask them “Why the fuck are there sides then?”
And they’ll respond with some dumbass irrelevant Marx quote.
Why was it never codified into law thus entire time? I have to ask. We’ve had plenty of time to weave Roe V Wade into the constitution and the democrats never made it a priority when they had majority. Not to downplay the malice of Republicans. But this is why politicians need to be more proactive instead of reactive. But no, nobody does anything until some crazy asshole shits all over everyone.
An amendment requires 3/4 of states to sign off on it which was never going to happen with abortion
Passing it as a federal law - yes they probably could’ve done that with a push
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday that last week’s Arizona Supreme Court ruling banning nearly all abortions in the state is a result of actions former President Trump took while in office.
They’ve lost a fundamental right to abortion, and it’s all because of Donald Trump,” Kelly said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
He said just yesterday that he broke Roe v. Wade, and because he did that, this enabled our court to bring back this draconian 1864 law to take away this right, send doctors to jail,” Kelly added.
His comments come as he faces backlash for saying on Monday that abortion should be left up to the states to determine policy, while appearing to say he would not sign a federal ban.
Trump has particularly been on defense since the Arizona Supreme Court ruling upheld an 1864 law and made performing the procedure a felony.
Reached for a response, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung referred The Hill to the former president’s earlier statement on the Arizona abortion ruling, saying the state’s Supreme Court “went too far” by “enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864,” and labeling Democrats as the “extremists” on the issue of abortion.
The original article contains 549 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This TLDR implies that Mark Kelly thinks abortion should be left up to the states, which is false. Trump is the one who keeps flip flopping on who he wants to oppress day to day and decided that the states should be the ones to ban abortion.
