The Arizona governor, Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, called for an Arizona supreme court ruling to be repealed that permits enforcement of an 1864 law banning almost all abortions. Speaking at a press conference the governor said: ‘The near total civil war-era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state.’ First passed when Arizona was still a territory, the ban only permits abortions to save a patient’s life and does not make exceptions for rape or incest.
The only anti-abortionists whose views are at all consistent are the ones who want no rape exception for abortion. A fetus is a fetus.
Of course, they know that virtually no one else, even many hypocritical anti-abortion people, would accept that, so they usually don’t push for it.
That hasn’t stopped Republicans in ten states from pushing that extreme position into law, though.

It’s despicable to call that pro-life when it puts so many lives at risk.
