YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An 1864 law that criminalized nearly all abortions in Arizona can take effect, the state’s top court said Tuesday.

The law—enacted before Arizona became a state—wasn’t repealed or restricted by a later law that banned abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy, Justice John R. Lopez IV said. That 2022 state law didn’t “create a right to, or otherwise provide independent statutory authority for, an abortion,” he said.

It’s a consequential decision in a state that has become an abortion battleground after a Democratic-led administration took over in early 2023. Reproductive rights advocates are collecting signatures for a November ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the Arizona Constitution.
