the Democratic Governor signs the bill to undo the Civil War-era prohibition, nearly all abortions will be temporarily banned due to procedural rules., the repeal still wouldn’t take effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends. Then, the state would revert back to a 15-week ban unless and until voters pass a constitutional amendment thatit last week after two unsuccessful attempts.
that would restore the right to abortion through fetal viability, or about 24 weeks. The group behind the ballot campaign, Arizona for Abortion Access, said in athat there’s still a “dire need” to pass the amendment. “Arizonans will still be living under the 1864 total abortion ban well into the fall,” the statement reads. “The repeal passed without an emergency clause, meaning that it will not take effect until 90 days after the Legislature adjourns, a date that is nowhere in sight.
MUST READ! Our statement on today’s Arizona Senate vote to repeal one extreme ban and revert to another. It’s a repeal with no set date to take effect & nothing has changed about the need for the Arizona Abortion Access Act.
