Arizona Supreme Court's Sudden Reversal Upholds Near-Total Abortion Ban
TL;DR Summary
Arizona's supreme court declared a 160-year-old abortion ban enforceable, prompting a surprising denouncement from state Republicans, including a state senator, a US Senate candidate, and a congressman. The ban, first passed when Arizona was a territory, lacks exceptions for rape or incest. The decision has caused a rift between Republicans and anti-abortion allies, and may impact the upcoming elections in the state. Abortion rights are popular in Arizona, with voters expressing anger over the court's decision, and Vice-president Kamala Harris blaming the impending ban on Donald Trump.
