Arizona Supreme Court Abortion Ruling Could Tip the Scales in Biden’s Favor in November
Arizona is the latest state to have abortion politics pushed to the forefront by the state’s Supreme Court.

Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law banning abortion in the state, overriding the state’s 15-week abortion ban and imposing a prison sentence on women who seek an abortion in the state.
In a four-to-two decision, the state Supreme Court in Arizona ruled that a Civil War-era abortion ban would begin to be enforced in 14 days. The law, which punishes anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion with between two and five years in prison, has only one exception — for the life of the mother. The ruling effectively overrides a 15-week abortion ban that was signed by Governor Ducey in 2022.
