Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona Responds to Arizona Republicans Blocking Repeal of the State’s 1864 Abortion Ban
PHOENIX, AZ — Today, Arizona Republicans blocked an effort to repeal the 1864 abortion ban. The vote was introduced by Democrats in the state legislature after the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban, one of the most extreme bans in the country.
Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Arizona Campaigns Athena Salman released the following statement:
“Banning all abortion in Arizona has always been the endgame for Republicans in the legislature, and today, they showed their cards by refusing to stop this abortion ban in its tracks. These extremists do not care about the health and well-being of the people they are supposed to represent. 9 out of 10 Arizonans support the legal right to abortion. It’s more important than ever that we hold them accountable. We won’t be underestimated, and our members are mobilizing to not only enshrine abortion into our state constitution but also flip both chambers in the Arizona state legislature so we can protect our fundamental rights and freedoms.”
