“I consider myself a natural-born Republican. In my house, we used to call Biden and Kamala 'corpse and cackling.'” “I've been a lifelong Republican, small government, lower “I support taxes and don't interfere in our lives.'' “I grew up during the Reagan administration, and he was a hero in our home. That's why he was my hero.'' “In this day and age, it's a choice.'' I don't think you have to be a liberal if you support “Abortion is changing the Republican Party this election.'' Here in Arizona, about one-third of Republicans say they support Proposition 139, a state ballot measure that would legalize abortion up to about 24 weeks. “Twenty years ago, I definitely wouldn't have done that.” We spoke to three longtime Republican supporters about how the outcome of Roe v. Wade is changing their votes. I heard it. “I grew up very Catholic. I never knew anyone who had an abortion. I don't think I ever said that word out loud until I got married.” , I wasn't that surprised. Our state law reverted to the previous law of 1864. “No one could quite believe it. I mean, it came really quickly. ” An 1864 law passed during the Civil War when Arizona was still a territory created a near-total ban on abortion. “Even conservatives in Arizona thought this didn't make much sense.” That law was overturned in May, and a ban was introduced 15 weeks later. But it has caused some Arizonans to reconsider their position on abortion. “I had to stop and think. So, how do I feel about it? What are the potential impacts? And the more I read, the more I watch the news, The more I watched, the more I became afraid of women. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am a mother of 10 children and a grandmother. “I don't believe you have the right to make choices for other people.” “I think when people go through this, it's probably the hardest decision they've ever made. I was a delegate to the convention, but on the day Arizona voted to go to the convention, I found myself bleeding and somehow pregnant. It turned out that I had to go to the doctor and get a medical exam. Let's say the law of 1864 was in place. They would allow me to get a medical exam. Would they have investigated me? In 2016, I voted for Trump, and I won't vote for him anymore. I'm proud of the fact that we dismantled the case. It's not a good service to women. It's not good for the country. So I can't support it, and I want to say to my friends, if Prop. 139 is yours. “If that's the problem, I don't see how I can support candidate Trump.” “I'll always be a Republican. Listening to NPR in the morning, I'm reminded every day why I'm a Republican, but at this point, I'm not sure why I'm a Republican.” I'm not going to vote for the party either.'' “I'm voting for Kamala Harris.'' I've used phone banking once and I plan to use it again, this time because many Arizonans feel the same way. I think there are, and I feel like our vote actually matters.”
