Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has relegated a Civil War-era ban on most abortions to the past by signing a bill Thursday to repeal it.
Hobbs says the move is just the beginning of a fight to protect reproductive health care in Arizona. The repeal of the 1864 law that the state Supreme Court recently reinstated won’t take effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends, which typically happens in June or July.
Abortion rights advocates say they’re hopeful a court will step in to prevent what could be a confusing landscape of access for girls and women across Arizona as laws are introduced and then reversed.
The effort to repeal the long-dormant law, which bans all abortions except those done to save a patient’s life, won final legislative approval Wednesday in a 16-14 vote of the Senate, as two GOP lawmakers joined with Democrats.

Donald Trump said Wednesday that an Arizona law that criminalizes nearly all abortions goes too far and called on Arizona lawmakers to change it, while also defending the overturning of Roe v. Wade that cleared states to ban the procedure.
“It’ll be straightened out and as you know, it’s all about states’ rights,” the former president told supporters and journalists after landing in Atlanta for a fundraiser. “It’ll be straightened out, and I’m sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason and that’ll be taken
If Arizona wants to make abortion legal, so be it. The Democrats won’t be able to use it as an issue any longer.
Thank you Governor! Abortion Yesterday! Abortion Today! Abortion Forever! KILL the little bastards! Vote Democrat! Vote Biden! Molech needs more innocent blood to drink!
There is another abortion law that goes into effect in Arizona now. No abortions after 15 weeks.
It’s funny that everyone rushed to repeal this law “since it was passed back in 1864”.
So what. The Fourteenth Amendment was passed in 1868 and no one chatters about repealing that.
The 1864 law was very much in effect in Arizona 50 years ago before Roe. It was well known, and discussed in the context of Roe.
So the age of a law has nothing to do with its merit. The fact that a bunch of idiots overreached in 1973 and made that decision doesn’t mean that there was a social consensus on it in the first place. There wasn’t. And the 1864 law was not considered antiquated in Arizona.
Arizona: we can’t give our women the power to murder their babies and our future citizens fast enough.
Whoda thought libtard socialists think murder is progressive. (Just anyone who’s studied their policies.)
Ah, a modern day priestess of Molech and Chemosh.
So, killing babies is now called health care? Wow, just Wow!
Baby Killers OverJoyed ! ! !

Two worthless “Republicans” made the repeal possible.
Per SCOTUS, it’s a STATE issue.
If you don’t like the outcome, start lobbying to change it.
The government chose murder over common sense and morality. What more can be said?
Correct! That law is more reasonable and inline with most people’s thinking.
