This is a huge victory for the people of Arizona, who are broadly opposed to such a draconian measure. The conservative Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade unleashed chaos, as a Civil War-era law iswas revived as part of their anti-woman crusade. The zeal with which conservativesthe insistfar-right insists on forcing their backwards views on women is backfiring, as even pro-life voters voice their displeasure with such inhumane measures
The fact of the matter is that life begins at conception, and it is disturbing that two Republicans would abandon the pro-life fundamentals of the party to concede to the left. Arizona had some of the strongest protections in the country for the unborn, with their Supreme Court affirming that the law could still be enforced. It is sad that we had more moral clarity in 1864 than 2024.
