A near-total abortion ban adopted before Arizona became a state was allowed to go into effect Friday by a Pima County Superior Court judge.
The law mandates two to five years in prison for anyone who provides an abortion or the means for an abortion. The only exception is to save the life of the mother.
Hobbs and Mayes took to a lectern outside Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s Office. Mayes said she would withdraw Brnovich’s opinion favoring the law, calling it unconstitutional. Mayes argued the state constitution had an expressed right to privacy protecting abortion rights. “People in their doctors’ offices today don’t know what’s allowed and the care they can get and this is harming people’s access to care today. So, voting in November is incredibly important so that we can move forward to restore rights,” Hobbs said.The initiative would give voters “an opportunity to ensconce in the Arizona constitution a permanent right to abortion and the right to reproductive care,” Mayes said.
“We are going back to a law that predates statehood and predates women’s right to vote even," Fitch-Heacock said."It’s scary, and it’s going to lead to deaths.”“We’ve seen over and over again that Arizona judges play a political game," she said."This is less about justice and more about politics.”“I think this is going to drag out in the courts for months, and during that time pregnant people are less safe in Arizona," Fitch-Heacock said.
