Fourteen Democrats in the Senate were joined by two Republican votes in favour of repealing the Bill.
Democrats in the Arizona legislature made a final push on Wednesday to repeal the state’s long-dormant ban on nearly all abortions, which a court said can be enforced.Fourteen Democrats in the Senate were joined by two Republican votes in favour of repealing the Bill, which narrowly cleared the Arizona House last week and is expected to be signed by Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs.
Democrats at the Arizona legislature are expected to make a final push to repeal the state’s long-dormant ban on nearly all abortions that a court said can be enforced Two Republican senators joined with Democrats to bring a repeal Bill to the floor for discussion and a possible vote. Republican Jake Hoffman denounced the manoeuvre as an affront to his party’s principles.Advocates on both sides of the abortion issue arrived outside the Arizona Senate on Wednesday to emphasise their views. They included people affiliated with Planned Parenthood and faith-based groups opposed to abortion.
Democratic attorney general Kris Mayes, who opposes enforcement of the 19th century law, has said that the earliest the state can enforce the law is June 27, though she has asked the state’s highest court to block enforcement for a three-month period ending sometime in late July. Arizona is one of a handful of battleground states that will decide the next president. Former president Donald Trump, who has warned that the issue could lead to Republican losses, has avoided endorsing a national abortion ban but said he is proud to have appointed the Supreme Court justices who allowed states to outlaw it.
Still, the law has not actually been enforced while the case was making its way through the courts. Ms Mayes, who succeeded Brnovich, urged the state’s high court against reviving the law.
