Two weeks ago, an Arizona Pima County judge ruled that a 1864 ban on nearly all abortions in the state can be enforced. This extreme ban has no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, and allows for the prosecution of providers and others who assist with potentially life-saving medical treatment. It was passed before Arizona was even a state.
This is going to set back progress in Arizona by over a century. And Trump-backed Abe Hamadeh has been on defense, while Democratic AG nominee Kris Mayes vowed to fight for reproductive rights.
Hamadeh is being defensive for a reason. He knows how absolutely unpopular this pre-Roe law is. Hamadeh is quiet because he’s afraid of being called out for supporting the ruling and doesn’t want to alienate his extreme supporters by speaking out against it. Kris Mayes has been an outspoken advocate for abortion rights and will be everyday once elected to the AZ AG’s office.
