Arizona attorney general: Pre-1901 abortion ban enforceable
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s Republican attorney general announced Wednesday that a pre-statehood law that bans all abortions is enforceable and that he will soon file for the removal of an injunction that has blocked it for nearly 50 years.
Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office said after the US Supreme Court overturned its 1973 decision that said abortion was a constitutional right that he was weighing whether the old law could be enforced.
His decision puts him at odds with Republican Gov. Doug Ducey. The governor had said after he signed a new law banning abortions after 15 weeks in March
