This is Ruben Gallego. Moments ago, the Arizona Supreme Court decided to enforce a near total abortion ban from long before any of us were born, before even our grandparents were born.
They are enforcing a law that was originally passed before Arizona was even a state, in 1864, during the Civil War.
No exceptions for rape. No exceptions for incest.
This is only possible because of the Supreme Court that Donald Trump built, and because the Senate failed to act to protect abortion rights when they had the chance. Kari Lake, my opponent, called this a 'great law.'

As a father, I am fearful for my daughter. As an Arizonan, I am fearful for the people of my state. And as an American, I am absolutely furious that this has come to pass.
If I make it to the Senate I will do everything I can to pass legislation that will make the protections provided by Roe v. Wade the law of the land — including reforming the filibuster.
I’m a Marine, and I’ll fight alone if I have to. But we’ll accomplish a lot more together. So please, if you’re looking for a way to channel your anger into action, consider supporting my campaign.
Thank you. Really.
–Ruben Gallego, candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona
