“It’s a religious sacrifice to these people, I think it’s demonic,” responds AZ. Senate candidate, Blake Masters, after a media question on abortion

A widely reported radical response from Blake Masters—according to at least one Valley health care worker—”offend every single woman and individual that supports abortion rights and women’s personal health decisions.”

Blake Masters agreed with a national ban on abortion after a question was asked of him on a podcast interview—the question was in regard to a national ban on abortion—would he support a similar statue on a national level, if elected?

In an ad titled, “His Own Words” Blake Masters responds to the question posed regarding banning abortion on a national level…”Would you support a similar statue?”

“Yeah—it’s a religious sacrifice to these people, I think it’s demonic,” Masters said.

“Those words offend every single woman and individual that supports abortion rights and women’s personal health decisions, regardless of political registration.  I believe that women— past and present, have had to make very painful decisions and these are the exact kind of words and descriptions that are extreme and fanatical. We have to make sure that people running for office do not have a chance at promoting archaic laws,” said a Phoenix health care worker who declined to use their name on the condition of threats against their safety.

The Master’s campaign, in the past few days, has been trying to reframe its hard line and on the record stance on abortion, but some Arizona voters that spoke to Northeast Valley News over the weekend are not buying it.

“He was endorsed by Trump, right?” asked ASU student, Raquel Norman of Tempe, “He will pretty much say anything to get elected, so, no, I don’t believe him.”
