The state Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on whether to allow a near-total ban to take effect—kicking off a 2024 showdown
Arizona is poised to take center stage in state-level battles over abortion this week when its highest court weighs whether to allow a near-total ban on the procedure to take effect.
The case will kick off an election-year showdown over reproductive rights that is expected to heavily influence the outcomes of Arizona’s hypercompetitive 2024 races, including contests for Congress and the White House. Activists are gearing up to put an abortion-rights measure on the ballot in Arizona next year.
The state Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Tuesday about whether to allow a near-total abortion ban dating back to 1864 to take effect. An appellate court a year ago ruled that the 19th-century measure needed to be harmonized with a more recent law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, in effect allowing women in the state to have abortions up until that later point.
Well, I know ASU hosts (or hosted) a yearly event where they post an anti-abortion group outside the Memorial Union that have billboards with grotesque images, my favorite is the rhesus monkey with the top of his skull removed exposing its brain, and they are out there to harass ASU students and tell them that abortion is bad.
Haven’t been there in ages, so might not be a fixture anymore. Was the 4 years I attended the campus, and I was told they were there every year for MANY prior years.
Any time outraged students tried to engage with the people with the misinformation and bullhorns, Tempe police were there with handcuffs. Can’t be within shouting distance of the evil mother fuckers for more than 90 seconds without the STUDENT being threatened with disorderly conduct.
So ya… seems like an apt place to have this kind of clash.
