The Arizona governor, Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, called for an Arizona supreme court ruling to be repealed that permits enforcement of an 1864 law banning almost all abortions. Speaking at a press conference the governor said: ‘The near total civil war-era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state.’ First passed when Arizona was still a territory, the ban only permits abortions to save a patient’s life and does not make exceptions for rape or incest.
AZ will be voting Blue in November.
If there’s any silver lining in all this it’s that Republicans can’t grasp the whole picture. They’re just doing the same thing they did in the midterms. Enduring some BS now so the Dems get the house, Senate, and presidency.
