Arizona Dem Governor Katie Hobbs Repeals State's Near-Total Abortion Ban

Calvin Freiburger : May 6, 2024  LifeSiteNews.com

Arizona pro-lifers condemned Katie Hobbs' repeal of the state's abortion law and warned that a fight remains to stop a radical ballot initiative that would a create a ‘right' to unrestricted abortion in Arizona.

Last month, the Arizona's Supreme Court ruled 4-2 that the law, which dates back to before Arizona gained statehood in 1912 and was codified in 1913, was legally enforceable after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, rejecting claims that Arizona's more recent 15-week abortion ban was intended to invalidate it.

The decision meant that abortion was set to become illegal in the Grand Canyon State for any reason except when allegedly "necessary" to save the life of the mother. Direct abortion is always gravely immoral and never needed nor ethically justified to save a mother's life.

Hobbs and Arizona's Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes vowed not to enforce any of the state's abortion restrictions, while the ruling elicited national outrage from the abortion lobby as well as criticism from Republicans who feared it might impact their political popularity, including former President and presumptive GOP White House nominee Donald Trump, US Senate candidate Kari Lake, and Fox News primetime personality Sean Hannity.

On April 24, the Arizona House voted 32-28 to repeal the law, with three Republicans joining Democrats. On May 1, the Arizona Senate voted 16-14 to repeal, with two Republicans crossing over. While most Republicans voted to keep the abortion ban in place, the votes were narrow enough that repeal could not have reached the governors' desk without the defectors.
