In Arizona, Blake Masters backtracks on abortion, scrubs campaign website

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% :Another promise was completely eliminated from the website: "Remove funding for any research that uses embryonic stem cells of aborted fetal remains.
48% : Now the website states he backs "a law or a Constitutional amendment that bans late term (third trimester) abortion and partial-birth abortion at the federal level" and "pro-life legislation, pregnancy centers, and programs that make it easier for pregnant women to support a family and decide to choose life."Masters' backtracking is one of the clearest signs of how much the Supreme Court's decision to eliminate federal abortion protections is scrambling the political landscape, energizing Democrats to both turn out at higher-than-expected rates in some bellwether contests and to flood their candidates and campaign committees with small-dollar donations.
48% : In another instance of a language change, Masters' website included this pledge: "Strip taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood, all other abortionists, and any organization that promotes abortion."
42% : Prior to the Supreme Court's decision this spring, McDaniel also expressed concern about the energizing effect that abortion could have for the left if Roe were overturned, according to two sources who had spoken with her about it in the past but spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations more freely.
41% :Now the sentence no longer mentions "abortionists" -- a term coined by abortion rights opponents -- nor "any organization that promotes abortion."
39% : That legislation would have prohibited states from banning and criminalizing abortion at any stage when a woman's health was at risk, a determination that would need to have a doctor's approval.
36% : "Abortion is a devastating issue for Republican candidates," Coughlin said.
