"Arizona Supreme Court Upholds Near-Total Abortion Ban, Impacting GOP and Trump"

The Arizona Supreme Court upheld a 160-year-old law banning nearly all abortions and punishing doctors who provide them, with exceptions only for cases necessary to save the life of the mother. The ruling has sparked political controversy and potential health concerns for Arizona women. Democratic leaders have vowed not to enforce the ban, while abortion rights advocates are pushing for a ballot measure to protect abortion access. The decision comes amid ongoing legal and political battles over reproductive rights following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
