Blake Masters, campaign unravels on abortion issue

Nothing destroys a candidate’s credibility like a flip-flop and then a cover up.

But that is where Blake Masters finds himself today, after his campaign website was suddenly scrubbed of his past extreme positions on abortion.

Masters has previously supported a total abortion ban. Beyond that, he has advocated for allowing states to ban contraception. As voters and polls have reacted strongly against such extreme positions, Masters finds himself in serious trouble on the issue— and now his credibility and truth-telling are at issue as well.

His language calling abortion a religious sacrifice and demonic are further pushing the candidate from the mainstream.
