"Arizona Republicans' Impact on Abortion Laws and Biden's Response"
TL;DR Summary
Arizona's Republican former governor, Doug Ducey, expanded the state's Supreme Court to seven justices, all solid conservatives, who upheld a 160-year-old abortion ban. Ducey's influence on the court, through his record-breaking judicial appointments and changes to the nominating process, has resulted in an even more conservative activist bent. All four justices in the majority decision on the abortion case were appointed by Ducey, while the two dissenting justices were appointed by his Republican predecessor, Jan Brewer.
