On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a 160-year-old abortion ban. The bill was enacted in 1864, nearly 60 years before women were granted the right to vote.
This archaic ban makes abortion illegal at the time of conception and includes a mandatory prison sentence for doctors who perform an abortion, meaning that Arizona now has one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country, and we know anti-choice extremists will keep pushing to enact these bans across the country.
When the GOP wanted to restrict access to abortion in Ohio, we fought back. And we won. Now, we must do it again.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
