Arizona Supreme Court Enforces Century-Old Law Restricting Almost All Abortions

In a historic decision, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that the state must adhere to a century-old law that prohibits nearly all abortions.

The law, which dates back to 1864, prohibits abortions except in cases where it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant person.

This law also carries a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers.

The ruling comes as part of the ongoing battle over abortion access that has been unfolding since Roe v.

Wade was overturned by the US Supreme Court in 2022.

Since then, nearly two dozen states have implemented bans or restrictions on access to abortion.

This has raised concerns among providers who argue that such policies put patients' health at risk and expose doctors to legal liability.
