"Arizona Republicans Grapple with Fallout of State Supreme Court's Abortion Ruling"

Arizona Republicans, who previously celebrated the end of federal protections for abortion, are now distancing themselves from a state Supreme Court ruling upholding a near-total ban on abortion. Statements opposing the ruling came from various Republican figures, including Senate candidate Kari Lake and Rep. David Schweikert, who had previously expressed support for anti-abortion legislation. The ruling effectively reinstates a Civil War-era law outlawing abortion from the moment of conception, prompting calls for repeal from some Republicans while others are reviewing the court's decision.
