A judge ruled Arizona can enforce a near-total ban on abortions that has been blocked for nearly 50 years. The only exception is if the mother’s life is in danger.

Abortion providers have been on a roller coaster since the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing women a constitutional right to an abortion. At first providers shut down operations, then re-opened, and now have to close again. “We applaud the court for upholding the will of the legislature and providing clarity and uniformity on this important issue,” Brnovich said in a statement. “I have and will continue to protect the most vulnerable Arizonans.”
The near-total abortion ban was enacted decades before Arizona secured statehood in 1912. Prosecutions were halted after the injunction was handed down following the Roe decision. Even so, the Legislature reenacted the law several times, most recently in 1977. The judge sided with Brnovich, saying that because the injunction was filed in 1973 only because of the Roe decision, it must be lifted in its entirety.
