Friend,   At the end of this month, we face a major campaign fundraising deadline.

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. A…
