Shouts of ‘Shame! Shame!’ erupt in Arizona House as fight over abortion ban engulfs lawmakers

October 19, 2024

Arizona abortion providers vowed Wednesday to continue service until they’re forced to stop, possibly within weeks. House Democrats and at least one Republican tried to open discussion on a repeal of the 1864 abortion ban, which holds no exceptions for rape or incest. It is an abortion that terminates life.”Democratic legislators seized on national interest in the state’s abortion ban. Hobbs, however, predicted that outrage will motivate voters to enshrine abortion rights directly in state law. Meanwhile, voters have sided with abortion rights supporters on statewide ballot measures in California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Ohio and Vermont.
