"Arizona Supreme Court's Decision on Abortion Access Expected Tuesday"

The Arizona Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the state's ban on nearly all abortions after 15 weeks will stay in place or revert to a much older law that prohibited the procedure in all cases except when necessary to save a pregnant person's life. The court's decision in Planned Parenthood of Arizona vs. Mayes/Hazelrigg is anticipated to be filed at approximately 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, following months of legal uncertainty and conflicting rulings. This ruling comes as abortion rights organizations in Arizona have gathered enough signatures for a 2024 ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution.

Republican Candidates Clash Over Abortion Stance in Heated Debate

Former Gov. Nikki Haley called for civility in the abortion debate and stated that she would only sign an abortion bill that can pass through Congress. She refused to commit to a specific abortion ban and emphasized the need to avoid dividing America over the issue. Haley pointed out that a 15-week ban bill introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham last year did not receive enough support. Republicans have been losing elections where abortion has been a dominant issue since the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision.

Anti-abortion leaders face dilemma over Trump's stance on national ban and Roe v. Wade.

Anti-abortion leaders are lobbying Donald Trump to support a 15-week ban on abortion, which they believe should be the standard for the Republican Party. However, Trump has not embraced a ban and has framed some abortion legislation as electorally toxic. The anti-abortion movement has confronted difficulties early in the 2024 GOP primary season, with at least one prominent Republican candidate causing headaches as well. The issue of abortion has come to dominate the early primary season and could soon become even more pronounced.
