I sometimes get bogged down writing overly long diaries about Arizona politics, but not today. People: This is what is on the ballot in November! Jeff Durbin, a founder of the Apologia Church in Tempe, leads the opposition to Arizona’s abortion measure, which received way more than twice as many signatures as needed! If passed it will amend the State Constitution and enshrine abortion rights in state law.
You know what to do, Arizonans: Vote! And vote for the “Arizona Right to Abortion Initiative,” not any phony measures Republicans introduce to fool voters.
Notice all the white men on that stage. Here’s the transcript for non Xers:
Jeff Durbin: “Abortion should be considered a crime, should be considered murder, unjustly taking a life of a human being, so that’s murder. And what I said is what is the historic position of the Christian church, that if you take a life of a human being unjustly, what the state owes you, if it’s proven it’s true, is capital punishment. You forfeit your right to live.”

F*ck this Christo-fascist misogynist, a so-called “pastor” who attended the Jan. 6 insurrection. Where was he when Trump’s covid policies “unjustly” murdered hundreds of thousands? And Kari Lake, what say you? Still living in 1864? Still agree with Trump when asked about women who get abortions: “The answer is, that there has to be some form of punishment. Yeah, there has to be some form.”
