AZ: Republicans on oversight committee accuse AG Kris Mayes (D) of 'shilling' for Planned Parenthood

The Arizona House Republicans heading the Committee on Executive Oversight made some wild allegations against Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes during a Wednesday meeting.

Among numerous other claims, some GOP members of the committee accused her of colluding with Planned Parenthood to drive more women to their clinics to obtain abortions in an effort to bolster their bottom line.

And Chairwoman Jacqueline Parker, R-Mesa, was one of several lawmakers who said they believed that was Mayes’ intent when she published a consumer alert telling women that crisis pregnancy centers misrepresent their services.

Crisis pregnancy centers are operated by anti-abortion groups and don’t offer abortions but provide other services like ultrasounds and free diapers and car seats, but Mayes accused them of tricking women into coming to their clinics and then pressuring them not to have abortions. While some crisis pregnancy centers don’t provide medical care, others have OBGYNs and nurses on staff to provide services throughout pregnancy.
