Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Tuesday signed a sweeping anti-abortion bill that bans the procedure if the woman is seeking it solely because a fetus has a genetic abnormality such as Down syndrome.

Doctors who perform an abortion solely because the child has a survivable genetic issue can face felony charges. The proposal also contains a raft of other provisions sought by abortion opponents.

Another in a series of recent actions in which Ducey is trying to re-establish his Conservative bona fides after turning his back on President Trump. No dice, Douchy; you’ve burned your bridges one too many times. You are toast in this state.

Needs to read a judge the riot act in the back of a limo and let him walk home from 15 miles out in the desert.

Ducey is trying to look solid again, (while doing nothing to expose the election fraud).

That’s the irony. One can say it’s for any other reason.
