Arizona Republicans again block effort to repeal abortion ban

For the second time, Republicans in the Arizona Legislature thwarted an effort to repeal the state's 1864 abortion law, which was upheld last week by the state Supreme Court. This comes despite high-profile Republicans like former President Donald Trump saying the ban goes too far. Elise Preston has more.

These reps are too extreme. Vote them and their ilk out. This is stupid. Most Americans want calm leaders of integrity, and most Americans want their rights respected. Period.

In Roevember, the people will remember.

I stand with Planned Parenthood. Keep abortion available, safe and legal; for females of all ages. Doctor/patient confidentiality laws apply to all genders.

Trump thinks it’s too extreme. That should tell you all you need to know about the Arizona GOP.

How stupid are they ? Then again those clowns we’re praying and talking in tongues in the house chambers 😂😂😂😂😂

This bill must be repealed. These republicans need to understand the evil history behind this 1864 bill. William Claude Jones helped with this bill while he, a grown man was sleeping with and marrying children, young girls 13 - 15 years old. Now we all know what that’s called! These children were forced to have his babies because he helped with this abortion ban bill. Why would any republican support and uphold such a bill, SHAMEFUL! This man put this bill in place to protect himself from messing with children who could not fight back

Let these women what ever the hell they want to. Democrats do what ever the hell they want to and nothing is done about it

Go AZ Republicans! The People of AZ do not want abortions anymore! Honor God and you will be honored. Shut up liberal liars.. CBS your reporting is so Biased on purpose. You are evil.

I am not on the Democrats side. I am not on anyone but the America people's side. What is best for this nation. That is not Trump. He can not give us the stability we all want. He only brings us chaos, death and destruction of his own party he runs on. Trump is only on one side, and that is himself. That is why he lost and will lose again.

Republicans will never understand nor will they understand that abortions are not harming babies. Abortions are procedures that women seek when they have fetal anomalies like stillbirths. Stillbirths are when babies are born dead and women who don't seek abortions for that by doctors die themselves. You got some women who were traumatized and forced into pregnancy against their will through r*pe by some sicko men out there.

[BigfootXpert]

18 years old should be the age cutoff for parents 😂

[merriemelodiesfan]

Republicans in Arizona want women to bleed to death. They don't care that some women have fetal anomalies. It's not about protecting the baby, it's about being oppressive to women.
