Yesterday the Arizona legislature gave final passage to HB2677 (full text) which repeals Arizona's 160-year-old near-total abortion ban that, according to the state Supreme Court, came back into effect when Roe v. Wade was overruled. (See prior posting.) However, the repeal does not go into effect until 90 days after the end of the legislative session. Governor Katie Hobbs has said she will sign the bill. When the repeal becomes effective, Arizona's 15-week abortion ban will be effective. In November, Arizona voters will vote on a referendum to protect the right to pre-viability abortions. The Hill reports on developments.
