Arizona Supreme Court rules abortion ban from 1864 can be enforced

The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that a Civil War-era abortion ban that does not provide exceptions for rape and incest can be enforced. That ban will supersede a 15-week abortion ban that was signed into law in 2022. Nancy Cordes has the latest.

Thank God my family doesn't live in Arizona

Thoughts and prayers go out to the women in Arizona. They NOW have the same rights as women had there in 1864! 😬

[marktitus]

Hopefully the voters in AZ will vote against all GOP members running for office. This is sickening that any women can't make the decision to her own body

[OO-nbkt]

Keep voting Republican and this is what you will get

Barefoot, pregnant, wearing an apron, trying to cook dinner and iron his pants. Vote for that ladies, if it's what you want.

if a parent gives birth to a child they're not ready to raise, whatever the reason, it will ultimately suffer in ways you wouldn't even understand. Orphanage, Foster Care. Not to mention how Republicans don't want to pony up for food stamps, and medical. Imagine all the influx of babies and kids that'll be on taxpayers backs. I have Friends and In-laws that where Foster Kids, and orphans. And all of them wish they'd never been born into a life like that. Religious and Moral beliefs are one thing. But being born straight into a Social Worker's case load and you're just a number. To me is far far worse a fate.. 😔

Love seeing all the pro choice Republicans in chat refusing to blame Trump for this because they can’t rationalize their support for abortion and Trump. Yet they’d blame Biden for them sneezing.

People in the comments asking “how is this Trump’s fault?”
Interesting question, now I’ll use your logic, how is the border Biden’s fault?

When Row v Wade was passed the DEMs should have codified it into law and demanded that all states remove laws from the books that go counter to the ruling.

[stan_senior]

Looks like the lawmakers need to do their jobs instead of passing it off to the courts.

This is a tremendous victory in the name of science. DNA is real!!!!

[justme]

It's unfortunate a woman in AZ who wants an abortion has to travel to one of the neighboring states to get the procedure done. There are bigger problems, and the dems are the cause. That needs to be kept in perspective.

[tbd-]

1864? Are we traveling back in time now?

[milhouse]

People of Arizona will vote to restore abortion rights in November.

[fferzun]

Plot an plan to get female voters motivated, smart,

[busterbrown]

I thought no state could be so stupid after Alabama.

[zacharyreed]

They ruled that a law on the books is technically enforceable. What's wrong with that? Is anyone going to enforce it? No. So this is all ear vomit to fan the flames.

If I mixed up batter for a cake and placed it in the oven for an hour, and you came by and opened the oven, reached in, took it out and threw it against the wall after 10 minutes, and I said, "Hey, that's my cake", and you said, No, it's not a cake", and I said, "Well, it would have been, if you hadn't done what you did!". Am I wrong? Bill Burr

The US GOoferment Can't tell ME What to do😂😂😂!! I'll smoke My Homegrown Weed Drink My Moonshine and Live FREE Just like I've been since I was Born here in the USA🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!

They did what Donald Trump told them to do
