"I will continue doing everything in my power to protect reproductive freedoms, because I trust women to make the decisions that are best for them, and know politicians do not belong in the doctor's office," Hobbs said in a statement.
Abortion has sharply defined Arizona's political arena since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. As the November general election approaches, the issue remains a focus of Democratic campaigns, and it will be up to Arizona voters to decide whether to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution.
Democrats were advocating for the repeal long before the Supreme Court issued its ruling. Even Hobbs called for action in her January State of the State address, emphasizing the urgency of safeguarding reproductive rights in Arizona.
The roadblocks to repeal led to high emotions, with House Democrats chanting 'Shame! Shame!' as they fought to overturn a ban that had been dormant for nearly 160 years.
