Abortion fight rages on with moves to repeal Arizona ban and a Supreme Court case
Action in courts and state capitals around the U.S. this week have made it clear again: The overturning of Roe v. Wade and the nationwide right to abortion did not settle the issue.
One iteration of the issue was back before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday for the second time in a month.
Meanwhile, Arizona lawmakers took a step toward repealing a near-total ban before enforcement can begin; California’s governor pitched providing an outlet to abortion providers and patients from neighboring Arizona if that ban takes take effect; and Tennessee moved closer to criminalizing helping a minor go out of state for an abortion without parental consent.
Here’s what to know about the latest developments.
ARIZONA LAWMAKERS ADVANCE REPEAL OF ABORTION BAN
Three Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in the Arizona House to advance a bill repealing an abortion ban that was first put on the books in 1864, decades before Arizona became a state.
