Current Events > Sean Hannity Demands Democrats to Get Rid of Arizona Abortion Ban

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sean Hannity on Wednesday called on Arizona Democrats to get rid of an 1864 law reinstated by the states Supreme Court that would criminalize almost all abortions.

He failed to mention that the state legislature is controlled by a narrow Republican majority, which prevented efforts by Democrats earlier in the day to repeal the law.

The people on the left are so desperate, attacking Trump now for an Arizona Supreme Court ruling that upholds what is a Civil War-era law banning abortion, the Fox News host said on his show Wednesday.

This will be fixed in the next week or two. Let not your heart be troubled. I can pretty much assure that will happen.

He added that former President Donald Trump opposes the law and this ruling.

The presumptive GOP nominee who has said he was proud to have been responsible for the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade told reporters Wednesday the Arizona ruling went too far, and suggested Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) would bring it back into reason.

Arizonas governor is a Democrat, Hannity continued. The states attorney general is a Democrat. The state legislature is almost evenly divided. If Democrats, you want to get rid of the law, well, you have a chance right now to get rid of it. And I would advise you, get rid of it.

They would rather use it as a political tool ahead of November, he added.

The conservative media personality, who describes himself as pro-life, has repeatedly tried to understate extreme Republican positions on abortion to his viewers. He recently warned Republicans that supporting heavy abortion restrictions is an unpopular, election-losing stance.

On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a 160-year-old abortion ban can be enforced, overriding the existing 15-week ban that went into effect in 2022.

Enforcement has been stayed for 14 days while a lower court hears additional arguments. If it goes ahead, abortion would be punishable by two to five years in prison, with exceptions only in cases where the mothers life is at risk.

Republicans in both chambers of the Arizona legislature scuttled efforts on Wednesday to vote on Democratic bills that would undo the ban.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) has said she would not enforce the law, saying in a statement Tuesday: Let me be completely clear, as long as I am Attorney General, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law in this state.

Do you really have to read past Hannity

People like this are a threat to US security & stability

Republicans brought up the old law, and immediately kept it.

And now they're scared shitless because of what their internal polling is telling them.

And have the majority to start removing it.

The only reason Hannity is claiming it is on anybody else's shoulders is because that ban is what his party wants.

Kari Lake tried the same routine, calling on the Governor to get rid of the old law.

It should be noted that Lake wanted the old law.

"Arrrghh, why did the Democrats do this to me?!"

Actually, I see their whole plan now: ban abortion in Arizona with the kind of outdated law you typically only see in literal comedy shows, inexplicably blame it on Democrats, and cross their fingers that Trump's wishy-washy statement on abortion will sweep moderates off their feet. It is a very, very stupid plan.

He knows that plenty of people will see this clip in their social media feeds and will not spend the minimal time or effort it would take to look a little more into it and see that it's actually Republicans who are preventing this law from being repealed.

This is a good summary of the entire career of this ridiculous liar. And the morons who swallow his crap hook line and sinker.

It's additional proof that Republicans just bit more than they could swallow.

It's a summary of the entire party. Because they know their bs will be widespread well before any correction or retraction.

Dems already tried and it failed because of let's guess... Republicans

its much easier to spread garbage like this than it is to correct it, and thats what hes hoping for.

He wants people to be misinformed about whos in control regarding Arizonas abortion ban.

Except...anyone who would be swayed by this stupid statement is already smart enough to know it's the GoP's fault. (I'm assuming he's aiming this statement at moderates)

Nobody except the Rightest of Right wingers thinks that Dems brought back this law.

That said, Dems better take advantage of this:

GoP wants to bring back archaic laws from the Civil War Era!

GoP wants to ban abortions completely!

The only thing I'm shocked about is Hannity actually acknowledging it happened since Fox News seemed intent on pretending it didn't. I guess they needed time to form a strategy that it's not connected to Trump.

Pretty much. It's just to get something out there that says it's democrats fault and then all the right wingers spread that it's democrats fault. Like anytime someone brings up how Roe was struck down under Biden and that it's somehow his fault for it.

Its about fooling moderates or low information that doesnt read the news as much as political junkies.

They know the media worries more about bias then facts.

Call me a dreamer if you will, but I don't believe there's a significant number of moderates who are so profoundly low-info that they'd genuinely believe Democrats were responsible for a so-ludicrous-it-must-be-fiction anti-abortion law.

Democracy does not work stop acting like it ever will

"Sean Hannity"

That's as far as I made it.

The dumbasses who watch Sean Hannity.

He's succeeding, too.

We're literally at the point where Republicans are gaslighting Democrats for not doing enough to stop Republicans.

What a fucking time to be alive.

They would rather use it as a political tool ahead of November, he added.

If you didn't know better, you'd assume he was talking about Republicans killing their own border bill so they can campaign on "Biden's open borders".

Lol. He just doesn't want it to be a ballot question in November

Remember, the Democrats are always treated as the adults in the room. They always have to clean up whatever mess the Republicans created.

Millions.

And successfully, by and large.

And this is why republicans want to do away with traditional media.

Because they want more lies like Hannity serves up.

Do they think Arizona will forget Trump's constant shitting on McCain?
