Reproductive Freedom for All Responds to Arizona Supreme Court Decision
PHOENIX, AZ — Today, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled to reinstate Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“This decision will cause untold harm to the people of Arizona, and it’s a painful reminder of exactly why we need to send Rep. Gallego to the Senate and reelect President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House: so we can lock the federal right to abortion into law and undo these dangerous bans.”
Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Arizona Campaigns Athena Salman released the following statement:
“This reckless decision from the Arizona Supreme Court will put people in life-threatening situations and force many to flee the state for the care that they need. We won’t stop fighting back alongside our partners to restore abortion access in Arizona. We are mobilizing our members to elect leaders we know will fight for our freedoms and ensure the right to abortion is on the ballot so Arizonans can vote to restore and enshrine abortion into our state constitution.”
