Republican challenger Blake Masters sought to put incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly on the defensive over border policy and abortion in a Thursday evening debate.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters sought to distance himself Thursday from his earlier statements that abortions should be illegal nationwide.

Masters, however, said if Kelly was as interested in border security as he claims — and willing to do battle with his own party — he could have withheld his votes for Biden's programs in the 50-50 Senate until he got what he wanted, including 18,000 more Border Patrol agents.
That returned the decision to the states. And Attorney General Mark Brnovich got a Pima County judge to rule that allows prosecutors to enforce a territorial-era law that ban all abortions except to save the life of the mother, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Now, Masters said he is still pro life. But he also said he supports exceptions and limits. And that means, he said, he supports a ban at 15 weeks, similar to what state lawmakers approved earlier this year even though that Pima County ruling said it did not supersede the territorial-era law.
