BREAKING: Arizona Supreme Court rules that a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban still on the books in the state is enforceable, adding the state to the growing lists of places where abortion care is effectively banned.

This is not a drill. The Arizona Supreme Court just issued a ruling invoking a law from the Civil War era to enact a near total abortion ban in Arizona and criminalize providers performing abortions and anyone who helps someone get one. This happened the same week that Donald Trump bragged about ending Roe v. Wade, which paved the way for the draconian abortion bans we’ve seen across the country.

I am furious.

After striking down Roe, Republicans and extremist judges continue to attack our reproductive freedom with dangerous rulings like these. There is no doubt in my mind that they will continue using every tool they have to completely ban abortion care in every state in the country.

This is a public health crisis. And we must fight back. While we work to get Congress to codify abortion rights into law once and for all, there are groups on the ground in Arizona organizing for abortion rights and working to turn out voters in November to pass abortion protections in the state.

If you’re able, can you please make a donation to Arizona for Abortion Access to help get abortion on the ballot so they can organize for abortion rights and reproductive justice for everyone in Arizona?

DONATE NOW

Arizona for Abortion Access is working to put an abortion constitutional amendment, the Arizona Abortion Access Act, on the ballot in November. If passed, it would establish the fundamental right to an abortion, protect people’s right to bodily autonomy, prevent punishment for exercising the right to an abortion or helping someone get one, and more.

Right now, Arizona for Abortion Access is organizing voters to support this constitutional amendment so voters can have their chance to enshrine abortion into the state’s constitution this fall. We’re counting on your support to make this possible.

The fate of abortion access for everyone in Arizona is on the line. And we must fight back to protect, restore, and expand access to care in Arizona and across the country.

Please make a donation to Arizona for Abortion Access to help protect reproductive freedom in Arizona. 100% of your donation will go directly to supporting their lifesaving work.

DONATE NOW

Abortion care is a human right, and we must keep fighting to make it so.

Yours in service,
