The Arizona Supreme Court on Monday pushed back the enforcement of the state’s strict abortion ban, giving state Attorney General Kris Mayes an additional 90 days to decide on whether to challenge the law in the US Supreme Court.
The Arizona Supreme Court on Monday postponed enforcement of the state’s 1864 abortion law — giving Democratic state Attorney General Kris Mayes an additional 90 days to decide on whether to challenge the law in the US Supreme Court.
The decision to delay this draconian ban is a win for reproductive rights. This cruel law will deprive Arizonans of vital healthcare, and people are yearning for a compassionate and contemporary approach to abortion rights. While the fight is not over, hopefully, this delay will be long enough for Arizonans to voice their support for abortion rights in November’s election.
This is likely just a temporary delay of the state’s pro-life law. While some radical, pro-abortionists on the left may be eager to push pro-abortion laws, pro-life groups will continue to make sure that every baby is protected, regardless of age. When Arizona’s original law takescould still take effect, and the people will celebrate the thousands of lives that will be saved.
