Arizona’s Civil War-era ban on nearly all abortions officially is being repealed Saturday.
The western swing state has been whipsawed over recent months, starting with the Arizona Supreme Court deciding in April to let the state enforce the long-dormant 1864 law that criminalized all abortions except when a woman’s life was jeopardized. Then state lawmakers voted on a bill to repeal that law once and for all.
Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed the bill in May, declaring it was just the beginning of a fight to protect reproductive health care in Arizona.
1000% agree both parties are not the same! Not even close honestly. With that being said I’d still like to acknowledge those 2 GOP senators that broke from the hivemind long enough to support this. Fuck this archaic, draconian law.
Conservatives need to start saying they’re conservative instead of saying they’re republican. Guns everywhere and abortion bans are republican beliefs, not conservative issues.
Conservatives should be demanding more cost effective abortions, not banning them.
