The Arizona Supreme Court's 4-2 decision to uphold the 1864 law banning nearly all abortions was a significant blow to abortion-rights supporters, citing no federal or state law to prevent the enforcement under the current circumstances post the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The law outlaws abortion from the moment of conception, with exceptions only to save the mother's life, posing severe consequences including fines and imprisonment of doctors, in a move that has raised concerns about women's health and safety.
Attorney General Kris Mayes criticized the court's decision, deeming it 'unconscionable and an affront to freedom,' arguing that the ruling puts the health and lives of Arizonans at risk, emphasizing the historical implications of reverting to outdated laws.
