Democrats pick up support of two Republicans to repeal law reinstated three weeks ago, with governor expected to ratify repeal

Arizona lawmakers have repealed the state’s 160-year-old statute banning nearly all abortions.

The 1864 law, which was reinstated by the state supreme court three weeks ago, has made abortion a central focus in the battleground state and galvanized Democrats seeking to enshrine abortion rights.

In the state senate, Democrats picked up the support of two Republicans in favor of repealing the ban. The Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs, is expected to ratify the repeal, which narrowly cleared the Arizona house last week after three Republicans joined with all the Democrats in the chamber.

14 Republicans voted for the total abortion ban and only 2 crossed the aisle.

28 Republicans in the house voted for the total abortion ban. Only 3 crossed the aisle.

This was a much closer vote than it should have been.

I've not looked into who voted against the ban, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was calculated to make those Republicans look good for election, with the others being in safer areas where they can say they stuck it to the libs.

“But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.”
