Arizona's Supreme Court upheld a 123-year-old penal code provision that bans nearly all abortions except to save the life of the mother. Arizona was operating with a 15-week abortion ban, but the old law makes even that limit illegal and makes no exceptions for rape or incest.
President Joe Biden responded to the Arizona ruling saying millions will live under a more extreme abortion ban, failing to protect women in cases of health risks, rape, or incest.
The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom. By effectively striking down a law passed this century and replacing it with one from 160 years ago, the Court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans.
