AZ House Votes to Overturn Centuries Old Abortion Ban

ncargat1 · Apr 24, 2024

This would leave the 15 week abortion restriction as the law of the state. I guess Republicans were starting the feel the elections slipping as moderates and women started to turn against the BS 160 year old law.

The Arizona House of Representatives voted Wednesday to overturn the state’s 160-year-old abortion ban, setting the stage for a repeal that would leave the state’s 15-week restriction on the procedure in place.

The vote comes after two failed attempts by state House lawmakers to bring the bill to the floor last week. Arizona GOP candidates in competitive races have been scrambling to distance themselves from the state Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that Arizona must adhere to the 1864 law that bars all abortions except in cases when “necessary” to save a pregnant woman’s life. The law also carries a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers.

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is expected to sign the repeal legislation – which would also require passage in the state Senate – if lawmakers advance it to her desk.
