On April 24, the Arizona House voted to repeal the state's abortion ban statute
Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a motion with the Arizona Supreme Court asking for a stay of the Planned Parenthood v. Hazelrigg mandate for 90 days.
“The Arizona Supreme Court’s decision in the 1864 case relied on a statute that a federal court has enjoined as unconstitutionally vague,” said Attorney General Mayes. “This raises serious federal questions under the Due Process and Supremacy Clauses. My office needs time to thoroughly evaluate these issues before deciding whether or not to ask the United States Supreme Court to review our state court’s decision.
According to the AG's Office, if Mayes determines she will not pursue a review at the U.S. Supreme Court, the office will update the Arizona Supreme Court.
