"Arizona Republicans Strategize Response to Abortion Ban Pressure"

Arizona Republicans are considering ways to undermine a proposed ballot measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution, in response to mounting pressure from former President Donald Trump and his allies. The measure, known as the Arizona Abortion Access Act, aims to protect the right to abortion before viability, but Republicans are considering placing competing constitutional amendments on the ballot to limit this right. This comes as the state faces the impending enforcement of a 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions and mandates prison sentences for providing abortion care.
