A GOP Senate candidate in Arizona is taking aim at laws that protect the right to use birth control on his website.
I am 100% pro-life. It was wrong when it was decided in 1973, and it must be reversed. Master's campaign website says the fight doesn't stop there. It goes on to say that the candidate will only vote for federal judges who understand that there is no constitutional right to abortion.
The right to an abortion was protected by the Supreme Court in 1973. In 1965, the Griswold case overturned a statewide ban on birth control and protected citizen's rights to privacy against state restrictions on contraceptives.
Masters says on his site that he is a catholic father of three. Since 1930, the Catholic Church has had an official ban on artificial birth control methods. Since birth control pills were invented in 1960, the church has maintained its stance that the medication should only be used for non- contraceptive reasons.
Masters said in a statement that he doesn't support a state law that would ban or restrict contraception. Both are true.
Masters stated that the Supreme Court justices made up a constitutional right to achieve a political outcome in the case of the Griswold case.
The Senate hopeful is trying to get an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. During a campaign event, Trump called in to support Masters but did not officially endorse him.
Masters, a venture capitalist, previously served as the president of the Thiel Foundation and was chosen by Thiel in 2016 to serve on then President-elect Trump's transition team.
