April 24 (Reuters) - Lawmakers in Arizona's House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to repeal an 1864 ban on abortion that may go into effect next month.

In a 32-28 vote, lawmakers decided that the old abortion ban should be repealed. The Arizona state Senate must now also vote to repeal the bill before the 160-year-old ban is knocked down.

[...]

Even if Democrats in Arizona manage to repeal the 1864 abortion ban, restrictions on the procedure would still be in place. Arizona Republicans in 2022 passed a law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

[...]

Arizona Democrats have tried to repeal the 1864 abortion ban twice in recent weeks but were blocked by procedural means to even bring the measure up for a vote.

1. NOW Arizona Repukes think that 1864 abomination is a bad idea????

What a bunch of spineless jellyfish.

They see the polls showing they are going to get destroyed in November because of their fascism and denying bodily autonomy to 50% of the population. So.......NOW they are backpedaling faster than Usain Bolt going forward.

Kari Lake is the prime example of a flip-flopper. She's reversed her position multiple times in just the past week. What a tool....
