Larissa Pixler, a Queen Creek resident and member of the Our Lady of Guadalupe parish, said the current laws regarding abortion are not in line with the original Roe v. Wade decision and allow "infanticide."

"Abortion, as approved in the Roe vs. Wade decision, was supposed to be an exception, something that was not common," Pixler said. "Over the years, more and more exceptions were approved until recently some states proposed abortion not only of a full-term baby but as long as 30 days after birth. That is not an abortion but infanticide."

"The lack of any legitimate limitation on this 'right' has resulted in the moral decay of our society," she said. "There can be no compromise regarding abortion when the abortion proponents disregard any concession previously obtained. I favor appointing an attorney for any baby considered for abortion to protect the life of that child in a legal proceeding."

“Donald Trump is the most pro-life politician in my life,” Tom McClusky, conservative speaker and Principal at Greenlight Strategies, said at the National Conservatism’s Beyond Dobbs panel. “When he comes back into office, he can change the federal laws that use taxpayer dollars to fund abortion, and he can change family policy to promote the bearing and raising of children.”

An Arizona court ruling in April of this year brought back a state law from 1864 which banned all abortions except for when the life of the mother was endangered. Arizona House legislators passed House Bill 2677 on May 2 to repeal the ban, with Governor Katie Hobbs signing the bill into law. The bill goes into effect on September 14, 2024, with a ban on enforcing the 1864 law in effect until September 27, 2024.

“The Democrats are the radicals on this because they're willing to have abortions in the seventh, eighth, ninth month,” former President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post. “We’re talking about the execution of a baby. And you can say what you want, but that's extreme and that's radical.”
