Once again, the Legislature has failed to repeal the outrageous 1864 near-total abortion ban. It is abundantly clear that the majority party wants this 160-year-old law to take effect. 1/
Complicated or complex decision making is not required to repeal this insane law that doesn’t even include exceptions for rape or incest. 2/
Please explain why you call the abortion repeal bill the "1864" bill when that was the AZ law all the way up until 1973 when Roe was enacted? That is a lot of years that the legislature could have changed the law but clearly chose not to. Why not call the law the "Pre-Roe" law since that is actually what it is. When Roe was overturned, the Pre-Roe law went back into effect. The 15 week ban law that the leg passed in 2022 was written to ONLY go into effect IF Roe remained intact at the SCOTUS. The legislature will now have to do their jobs and craft a new bill that will include rape and incest exceptions and probably other limits that the governor will have to sign. Also, why don't you talk about the fact that the current abortion ban remains temporarily on hold so there is no need to suspend legislative rules since you, Kris Mayes said that the earliest the ban could take effect is June 8. Saying that Arizonans are living under this new reality already is misleading. The legislature should work to find a common ground solution and the governor should sign the new bill if she doesn't want a total ban on abortion in AZ.
@AZAGMayes How do you think you are qualified to be AG when you don't even protect the consent of the governed and our Open Meeting Law? Disgraceful!!!!
@AZAGMayes You'd love to throw AZ into a total abandonment of morals. Your lie of compromise is not hidden anymore. Finish counting the votes, and you're gone. 🤡😉
@AZAGMayes We call this a win for the unborn Arizonans.
@AZAGMayes You are so consumed with this is your office able to accomplish anything else?
@AZAGMayes it’s abundantly clear you want more abortion!
@AZAGMayes Key word being majority....
