JUNEAU, Alaska — Gov. Mike Dunleavy said he wanted to make Alaska “the most pro-life state in the entire country” during his annual address to the Legislature, marking the Republican governor’s second term in office.
“We need more people in Alaska, not less,” Dunleavy said, but his on Monday evening speech lacked details on how he would make Alaska, where access to abortion is protected under the state constitution, more “pro-life.”
An anti-abortion rally held earlier in the day drew a sparse crowd, where Chris Kurka, a former Republican legislator and director of Alaska Right to Life, said “it’s a time to seize the day.”
