Kari Lake in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2022 races

On Abortion: We're not giving women choices, they're given one choice

LAKE: In Katie Hobbs' world, they're for abortion right up until birth, if you are in the hospital in labor, the abortionists are for giving you an abortion, If you desire one. This has moved beyond health care. We're not giving women choices. I'm for giving women true choices. And when they walk into an abortion center, they're only given one choice. And they're not told that you have the choice to keep your baby, and we can help and here's how.

KATIE HOBBS: Kari Lake is entirely misconstruing my position on this issue. Late-term abortion is extremely rare. If it's being talked about, it's because something has gone incredibly wrong in a pregnancy. A doctor's not going to perform an abortion late in a pregnancy just because somebody decided they want one. That is ridiculous. Under a Kari Lake administration, we would have government-mandated forced births that risk women's lives.

On Government Reform: We have major problems in our election system

I think we have major problems in our election system. We had Democrats saying the 2000 election wasn't fair. They were complaining the 2004 election wasn't fair. 2016, Kamala Harris spoke out and said that the electronic voting machines were hacked in front of her eyes and nobody called them election deniers. And now all of a sudden in 2020, we don't have free speech anymore. We can't speak out against our own elections. Source: CBS Face the Nation on 2022 Arizona Gubernatorial race Oct 9, 2022

On Immigration: We're going to protect our own border from invasion

LAKE: If you know the Constitution, you know that Article 4, Section 4 calls for the federal government to protect us from invasion, and under Joe Biden's lack of leadership, we just aren't seeing that. We have an invasion at our border, these Narco terrorist groups have operational control. They're using Arizona to smuggle people, to traffic children and to traffic fentanyl. We're going to invoke our Article 1, Section 10, authority to protect our own border.

KATIE HOBBS: My opponent's positions on this issue are nothing but empty rhetoric. She's not offering real solutions. When she talked about invoking the constitutional authority of the state, she's talking about declaring an invasion at our Southern border. That would do absolutely nothing to increase border security, but it would bring untold levels of chaos into our state. It's not a real solution.
