It’s actually a good thing that the Republicans are being openly gleeful about this, for two reasons. First, it makes it clear to people what their stance really is, no matter what they might try to pass off in other forums. And, second, it means they think they own the state and can do whatever they want, despite the fact that they barely have control. The first point makes it clear to people what Republicans are doing, so every time Kari Lake goes out and declares that she actually supports abortion**, people will understand that she’s lying (and lying does’t go over well in AZ). The second point no only makes it easier to toss them out of power, it also shows people that they will do whatever they want, pass whatever extreme policy, regardless of how much public support there is.
Let them be assholes about this, it just makes them look bad to people who know this is a serious issue, and opens them up to being called hypocrites and/or monsters who would force kids and women to carry a dangerous to term (or death). It also makes it clear nationwide where Republicans stand, no matter how much they try to pretend otherwise. Republicans are terrified of this issue and being even more openly hypocritical than usual to try to fool people, let’s hope it backfires on them.
** Abortion support conditional based on possibility of losing election. Mileage may vary. See your doctor if you have an election overthrown by a rabid mob of insurrectionists trying to install a Christian theocracy.
