The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition about an 1864 law that would jail doctors and ban virtually all abortions.
Abortions are already banned after 15 weeks in Arizona. Women are being forced to travel out of state and spend thousands of dollars to get the medical care they need. And this could just be the start.
If this archaic law is implemented, it would be devastating for our state.
This ban was written and passed 55 years before women won the right to vote. Now, 150 years later, it could be determining the most private medical decisions they make.
Kirsten is unapologetically pro-choice. Politicians shouldn't be inserting themselves into the intimate decisions made by a woman with her doctor, full stop. It's a violation of our most basic rights.
We need our elected officials to protect the right to choose nationwide now. That's why we put together a petition calling on Congress to take action.
Kirsten is a mom, an environmental attorney, and a former State Legislator who has spent the past six years fighting to restore funding to public schools, protect Arizona's natural resources, and make our communities safer.
She’s ready to take that fight to Washington to find common-sense solutions to the challenges we’re facing here in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
