Arizona Supreme Court Upholds Century-Old Near-Total Abortion Ban

Arizona Democrats are seizing on a recent Arizona Supreme Court ruling that effectively bans abortion in the state, blaming former President Donald Trump and Republicans for the decision. The ruling, which permits prosecution for performing an abortion at any time with no exceptions for rape or incest, is expected to impact the November election, with Democrats emphasizing efforts to restore abortion rights and Republicans facing a political bind. The decision could lead to intensified efforts by abortion rights advocates to put a ballot measure in front of voters to restore the right to an abortion, potentially impacting the political landscape in Arizona and other battleground states.
