OverviewAPI
The Arizona Senate is moving to repeal the 1864 Civil War-era abortion ban, reinstating a 15-week abortion ban with Governor Katie Hobbs expected to sign. Arizona Democrats have secured enough votes to repeal the ban, potentially leading to a period where nearly all abortions could be illegal until the law takes effect. Efforts are ongoing by advocates on both sides, with a constitutional amendment vote in November to establish abortion rights up to fetal viability.
