US: Arizona to enforce 19th century abortion ban DW 04/09/2024
Briefly

The long-dormant Arizona 1864 abortion ban, with no rape or incest exceptions, permits abortion solely in cases of danger to the mother, carrying a prison sentence for those aiding the procedure.
Arizona's Supreme Court decision to enforce the 1864 law aligns with the post-Roe v. Wade trend of states implementing historic abortion bans, prompting a national reevaluation of reproductive rights and legal frameworks.
President Biden and Vice President Harris dissent the new Arizona abortion ban, advocating for women's reproductive rights and a return to the protections of Roe v. Wade through legislative action.
Abortion emerges as a central election issue as President Biden gears up for a potentially contentious re-election battle against former President Donald Trump, indicating the importance of reproductive rights in national politics.
