Abortion ban repeal causes stir at the Arizona Senate
The Arizona Senate voted today to repeal the state’s 1864 ban on abortion that could have gone into effect within weeks if not struck down. The repeal was passed by the Senate in a 16-14 vote and is expected to be quickly signed by Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat. Two Republican senators crossed party lines to vote in favor of repealing the ban.
