A judge in Pima County will hear a case filed by the Attorney General Mark Brnovich on abortion in Arizona.
TUCSON, Ariz. — A Pima County Judge will hear a case that will guide the next steps of abortion access in Arizona and decide between two laws.
"Our elected officials have not been able to provide us, their constituents with any sort of clarity surrounding the legality of abortion," Brittany Fonteno, the CEO and president of Planned Parenthood Arizona, said. “And so what we know to be true is that in the past five decades the Arizona State Legislature has passed numerous laws that regulated abortion as a legal medical procedure," Fonteno said.
"The U.S. Supreme Court rightfully returned the issue of abortion to our elected representatives," Britni Thomason, a spokesperson for the attorney general's office, said in a statement."The Arizona legislature has expressed its intent, and we hope the court will provide clarity and uniformity throughout the state."
