Arizona Democrats are making efforts to repeal a longstanding abortion ban that dates back to 1864. The move comes as part of a broader push to protect reproductive rights and access to healthcare services in the state.
The 1864 law, which criminalizes abortion except in cases where the mother's life is at risk, has been a point of contention for many years. Democrats argue that the ban is outdated and infringes on women's rights to make decisions about their own bodies.
