Arizona Supreme Court reminds everyone abortion issue won't go away

"Abortions will soon be outlawed in Arizona except in cases where a pregnant person's life is at risk. The state Supreme Court has ruled Arizona should follow a restrictive abortion law dating back to the 1860s.

Since Dec. 2022, Arizona doctors have been allowed to provide abortions up to 15 weeks into a pregnancy, based on a lower court's interpretation of state laws. But the state Supreme Court now says Arizona should follow a law banning abortions in almost all cases. It makes no exceptions for rape or incest and makes performing an abortion punishable by two to five years in prison.

Planned Parenthood Arizona, the state's largest abortion provider, says it plans to continue providing abortions until the decision is enforced.

An effort is already underway to put a measure on 2024 ballots that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution."
