(7) Breaking: Arizona House Repeals 1864 Ban

This afternoon, the Arizona House voted to repeal the state’s 1864 abortion ban. While Republicans have a majority in the state Senate, there’s a good chance they move ahead with the repeal, too. (Remember, Democrats had enough GOP votes last week in favor of a repeal; it was the House holding them up.) Obviously, if it passes the state Senate, Gov. Katie Hobbs will sign the legislation.

The ban, which has been the center of a tremendous amount of controversy, is a reminder of what Republicans’ end goal really is: pushing women back to a time when we had zero choices. About anything.

In the end, though, it appears that conservative politicians couldn’t take the backlash. U.S. Senate candidate and failed gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake has been lobbying legislators to repeal the ban, as has Donald Trump—who didn’t want fury over the 160-year old law messing with his campaign.

While this is a good idea, it's also a fucking distraction.

The repubs want to be able to point to their good deed in the hopes the swing voters won't vote against them in all of the elections. They saw how angry everyone is about taking away our rights and are afraid that they'll be voted out. They should be.

Any legislator or political office holder who shoves their religious (or twisted control) beliefs in between us and our rights deserves to lose their seat!

They also hope that by repealing a near total abortion ban from 150+ years ago, people won't vote for the Arizona Right to Abortion Initiative.

They're counting on people thinking to themselves, "Oh, the old abortion ban is gone, so I don't need to vote to make abortion a constitutional right. Maybe the 15-week ban isn't so bad."

Wrong!

We still need to vote this in! If we don't, then it leaves the door open for more fuckery from the repubs in the future. They're already cooking up more fuckery in the form of competing ballot measures.

We need to cement this right in the Arizona state constitution this year. Now. The time is NOW.

If you live in Arizona, vote to make the fundamental right to abortion care a law they can't screw around with.

If you're not in Arizona, please boost this message so more Arizonans see it and talk about it.

And if you're not in Arizona and you think about just continuing to scroll, keep in mind that states like to copy each other's laws (kind of like copying someone's homework in school). To help keep this movement strong all over the country, reblog reblog reblog!

Basically, everyone please reblog this!

Georgia wasn't the only state where Team Trump tried to interfere with the 2020 election.

While Trump himself wasn't indicted in Arizona, a number of his minions were.

A grand jury in Arizona has handed up an indictment against former President Donald Trump’s allies over their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, including the fake electors from that state and several individuals connected to his campaign. Boris Epshteyn, a former White House aide who remains one of Trump’s closest advisers; former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; and Rudy Giuliani are among those who have been indicted, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, announced the indictment Wednesday night, focusing on the 11 individuals who acted as pro-Trump electors in the state. The names of several other indicted defendants remain redacted, Mayes said in a statement Wednesday, until those people have been served. “A state grand jury made up of everyday regular Arizonans, has now handed down felony indictments for all 11 Republican electors as well as several others connected to this scheme,” Mayes said. “These are serious indictments, but this is the first hurdle the state must pass in our constitutional criminal justice system. We intend to prove these crimes were committed beyond a reasonable doubt.” While Trump is not among those charged in Arizona, the details in the indictment suggest he is “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.”

Trump likes nicknames so I hope he enjoys his new one: Unindicted Coconspirator 1.

Speaking of Arizona on Wednesday, the lower chamber of the legislature voted to repeal the state's 1864 extreme abortion ban. A handful of Republicans joined the Democratic minority to move the measure forward.

Tempers, retribution come with vote to repeal abortion ban

These actions, on the same day, act as reminders of the importance of state government. Making sure that your state is not controlled by MAGA extremists is just as vital as keeping Trump and his Capitol Hill sycophants out of power.

“William Claude Jones spent his life wielding his power over women and over girls and their bodies with complete tyrannical domination," says Chris Hayes on the man behind the Arizona abortion ban. "And that is exactly the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court have brought back to the 21st century."

(via AZ House has voted to repeal the 1864 abortion ban upheld by the Supreme Court)

Republicans who supported the 1864 ban denounced the repeal during a litany of floor speeches.

“Stop calling it archaic to ban abortions. It’s archaic to do abortions,” Rep. Barbara Parker, R-Mesa, said, adding that abortion is “murder.”

Rep. Alexander Kolodin, a Scottsdale Republican, blasted his colleagues and other Republicans who have said that failing to repeal the Civil War-era law will lead to GOP losses at the ballot this November — and could mean Democrats take control of the Legislature for the first time in decades.

“We’re willing to kill infants to win an election. Put in that context, it’s a little harder to stomach” Kolodin said. “Politics is important, but it’s not worth our souls.”

abortion is not “killing infants”

Arizona's Supreme Court to hear case on state's 1864 abortion ban

The Arizona State Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments Tuesday over whether a centuries-old near-total abortion ban will be reinstated. Currently, abortion is banned at 15 weeks or later in Arizona. Patients are required to make two appointments, the first for an in-person counseling session and the second at least 24 hours later for the abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute,…

April 9, 2024: The Arizona Supreme Court just voted a pre-statehood law from 1864 that will effectively ban all abortion care in the state.

If you need abortion care there is still 45 days to seek abortion care within the state.

My only child was born in Arizona via a late term abortion in 2020 due to Triploidy, a condition that is completely incompatible with life. Having an abortion (vaginal birth with induction) saved my life and my future fertility.

Abortion is healthcare.

[profeminist]

"Three Republicans on Wednesday joined Democrats in the Arizona House to vote to repeal the state's controversial 1864 ban on nearly all abortions, which was revived by a court ruling earlier this month and which only includes exceptions to save the life of the pregnant woman.

The final vote was 32-28.

The bill now heads to the state Senate where it could be taken up next week."

Democrats in the Arizona legislature are trying to get rid of the 1864 state abortion ban but majority Republicans keep blocking them.

AZ House Republicans block Dems from repealing Civil War-era abortion ban The GOP contends any change would be rushed, Dems contend they've been making attempts to repeal for years

This is probably just a coincidence... 😉

When Republicans say they want to “take America back” they mean 160 years back

BREAKING: The Arizona Supreme Court just upheld a 160-year-old abortion ban — making abortion illegal in nearly all circumstances — that will likely shutter clinics in the state.

The 1864 ban predates Arizona's statehood.

This would make abortion punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

[Breaking news update, published at 1:19 p.m. ET]

In a historic decision Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled the state must adhere to a 123-year-old penal code barring all abortions except in cases when “it is necessary to save” a pregnant person’s life.

The law, which can be traced to as early as 1864, also carried a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers.

[Original story, published at 1:11 p.m. ET] CNN  — 

The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled on whether the state’s current ban on nearly all abortions after 15 weeks will stay in place, or if it will revert to a far narrower 123-year-old law with roots in the Civil War era. CNN is currently reviewing the decision.

The older law barred the procedure in all cases regardless of gestation, except when “it is necessary to save” a pregnant person’s life. It carried a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers.

The case is the latest high-profile example of the battle over abortion access that has played out across several states since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the US Supreme Court in 2022. Since that decision, nearly two dozen states have banned or limited access to the procedure. Providers have warned that restrictive policies on abortion access place patients at risk of poor health outcomes and doctors at risk of legal liability.

In a notice Monday, the Arizona court indicated it will file an opinion in Planned Parenthood of Arizona vs. Mayes/Hazelrigg at approximately 10 a.m. PT Tuesday.

Justices heard opening arguments in the case last December, when abortion rights opponents claimed the state should revert to the 1901 ban, and advocates asked the court to affirm the 2022 law allowing abortions up to 15 weeks, CNN previously reported.

When he signed the law in March 2022, then-Gov. Doug Ducey stated the 2022 law would not override the older law.

In late 2022, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled both abortion laws in the state must be reconciled, or “harmonized,” and that abortion is legal through 15 weeks when provided by licensed physicians in compliance with the state’s other laws and regulations, CNN previously reported.

The state Supreme Court was asked for clarity following months of uncertainty and legal wrangling over which law should apply in the state.

Last week, Arizona for Abortion Access, a group of abortion rights organizations, announced it had gathered enough signatures for a November 2024 ballot measure that would ask voters to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution.

The push is part of a massive effort to get abortion on the 2024 ballot in several states, a move abortion rights advocates are hopeful will restore some power to voters rather than state courts.
