Arizona Now Abortion Free
After the Arizona Supreme Court ruled Monday that the state’s 1864 statutory ban on abortion, blocked as a result of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, was “triggered” and reestablished by “Roe’s” demise. The opinion clarified that prior to Roe’s overturn, “the rights of the ‘unborn child’ were limited only by the federal Constitution and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of it.”
As a result, the near total ban takes precedence over the state’s previously enforced 15-week gestational ban. Abortion is now illegal in the state of Arizona except in cases of medical emergencies. In fact, the court’s Opinion clearly informed abortionists that their days of killing innocent human beings in the state of Arizona was all but over:
“In light of this Opinion, physicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal.”
The law carries two to five years in prison for anyone who provides an abortion or the means for an abortion. It will be enforceable 14 days from the date the opinion was filed.
As a result, 15 states are now abortion free. See Operation Rescue’s Interactive Map.
