Reproductive rights advocates sue Arizona to overturn 15-week abortion ban

India Today  

Reproductive rights advocates sued Arizona on Tuesday to undo a 15-week abortion ban that conflicts with a constitutional amendment recently approved by voters to expand access to foetal viability. “And so that’s really what this 15-week ban challenge is.” Arizona was one of five states where voters approved ballot measures in the 2024 general election to add the right to an abortion to their state constitutions. The Arizona ballot measure gained momentum after a state Supreme Court ruling in April found that the state could enforce a near-total abortion ban adopted in 1864. Missouri’s Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey wrote in an opinion that he will enforce some laws restricting abortion despite voter approval of a constitutional amendment widely expected to undo the state’s near-total ban on the procedure.
