Arizona Top Court Allows Nearly Total 1864 Abortion Ban to Take Effect

Arizona's highest court has upheld an 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions in the state, with the exception of those performed to save a mother's life. This ruling, which could have significant implications for women's healthcare and political dynamics, overturned a previous decision that had blocked the enforcement of the near-total ban. The law was passed when Arizona was still a territory in the US.
