John,
We’ve seen a lot of crazy attempts – successful or not – to ban and even criminalize abortion, but I think this one takes the cake.
The Arizona Supreme Court just replaced the state’s law PROTECTING access to abortion with a law from 160 years ago that BANS it almost entirely.
Two years ago, Arizona passed a law allowing abortions up to 15 weeks into pregnancy. The state’s justices decided this week that the law as it’s written requires a federal constitutional right to abortion – which SCOTUS ended when they overturned Roe v. Wade.
Under this reinstated 1864 law, doctors who perform an abortion for any reason besides to save a patient’s life will face felony charges, have their license revoked, and serve 2-to-5 years in prison if found guilty.
Republicans try to tell us that abortion is up to the people to decide for their state, but this abortion ban passed before women even had the right to vote.
We have to fight for every single seat in Congress to stop Republicans from imposing these extreme laws on the national level.
John, can you contribute to help me flip this seat and fight for women in Idaho and around the country?
