Friday was a very bad day for AZGOP chair Kelli Ward

Arizona appeals court temporarily blocks state’s 150-year-old abortion ban, restoring access

The Arizona Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked the state’s more-than-a-century-old abortion ban from being enforced after a judge had previously ruled it could be. 

A three-judge panel from the appeals court ruled on Friday that a judge erred in lifting an injunction against the law, which bans the procedure except for cases where the pregnant person’s life is at risk, without considering other laws limiting abortion access that the state has passed since the injunction was put in place nearly 50 years ago.


While, and this is just a guess, she may not like this ruling, she'll find a way to spin it, probably fund raising off of it.

The other item is one she may *really* hate.

Judge clears way for Jan. 6 committee to see phone records Arizona Republican party chair

A federal judge on Friday cleared the way for the Select House Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol to subpoena the cell phone records of Kelli Ward, the head of Arizona’s Republican Party.

U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa had already decided in August that the committee was within its rights to seek the records, dismissing a lawsuit that Ward had filed against the Jan. 6 committee in January.


I expect that Ward will find that fund raising off of being anti-choice is more lucrative that fund raising off of being a traitor,
