The Arizona Supreme Court has voted in favor of upholding a law from 1864 that criminalizes all abortions except in cases where the life of the mother is in danger. This law could go into effect this month, making it one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
A near-total abortion ban could go into effect in Arizona as soon as this month. In a new ruling, the state's supreme court voted 4-2 in favor of upholding a law from 1864 criminalizing all abortions except in cases where the life of the mother is in danger. The law is currently under a 14-day stay while a lower court hears additional arguments, per The Huffington Post.
A year ago, Wyoming outlawed the abortion pill, and a Texas woman recently had to travel out of state to have the procedure, as unclear and ill-defined exceptions in the state's laws made it too difficult for healthcare providers to be sure that they would not be penalized. In response to the ruling, President Joe Biden released a statement calling the ban “dangerous” and “cruel,” noting that it makes no exception for rape or incest.
