Abortions are essentially being banned in Arizona after the state Supreme Court issued a highly anticipated ruling Tuesday that turned the clock back to a law passed in 1864.

Lake, Gallego say they oppose Arizona abortion decision
thehill.com
... Both Arizona Senate candidates came out against the state Supreme Court's decision Tuesday that upholds one of the strictest abortion bans in the country.
The court's decision put into place an 1864 law barring abortion access in all cases except to save the life of the mother. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and GOP candidate Kari Lake each said the ruling should be overturned.
Lake, who has in the past called the 1864 law "great" and showed support for strict abortion bans, said the Legislature should instead decide on abortion rights legislation. The comments come just a day after former President Trump said the issue should be left to states. ...
Gallego, meanwhile, doubled down on his stance in favor of abortion rights.
"Today's ruling is devastating for Arizona women and their families," he said. "This is not what Arizonans want."
"This decision rips away the right for women to make their own healthcare decisions with their doctors," he continued. "I promise you that we will fight this together. And with your help, we will win."
Gallego also shared Lake's previous comments on the 1864 bill hours after the ruling, using them as an attack on her record.
"I won't let Kari Lake distort the record," he wrote on the social platform X. "She called this law a great law' -- even though it will ban nearly all abortions, including in cases of rape or ------." ...
Lake is parroting the line panicked GOPers are hanging onto. For example:
Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), the most vulnerable Republican in the state, came out against the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling upholding one of the most strict abortion laws in the country on Tuesday.
Schweikert denounced the court's decision, joining other Arizona Republicans in calling the move a step too far and pushing for the state legislature to pass new abortion rights legislation.

@#48 ... We live in a society of laws and those laws are made by people we elect to represent us. If it's as important as you say it is, sooner or later our lawmakers will have to start listening to their voters or be unemployed. ...
So, your current now wants to listen to voters.
OK, why does the will of the voters seem to run contrary to what many Republican-led states are implementing regarding abortion?
I mean, the abrupt about face by Ms Kari this week is an amazing example.

So, now, maybe let's talk about how Justice Alito [bizarrely] had to dig back into the Middle Ages to justify the opinion countering Roe. Apparently Republican politics ignoring the voters.

There is nothing contradictory at all. Women are scared of getting pregnant and having to deal with health problems and not be able to get an abortion
So they are more proactive in getting those abortions AND many women are choosing not to get pregnant. They're not the same people obviously
The dude who wrote this 1864 law was a pedophile:Meet the pursuer of nubile young females' who helped pass Arizona's 1864 abortion law
The Arizona Supreme Court has decided the law is still relevant. So let's talk about the guy who led the body that passed it.
