PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Arizona House reconvened today amidst a heated debate over the 1864 ban on nearly all abortions, following a recent ruling by the state supreme court.
Democrats in the House made another attempt to introduce a bill to repeal the controversial law, but faced strong opposition from Republicans who raised procedural concerns."The last thing we should be doing today is rushing a bill through the legislative process to repeal a law that has been reaffirmed by the legislature several times," he said.
Hernandez criticized the antiquated nature of the law, highlighting that it was enacted before Arizona even became a state and before women had secured many basic rights. Despite Democrats' efforts, the House adjourned without discussing the repeal of the near-total abortion ban.
