The Arizona House of Representatives made a significant decision on Wednesday by voting to overturn the state's long-standing 1864 abortion ban. This move sets the stage for a potential repeal that would maintain the state's current 15-week restriction on abortion procedures.
The vote followed previous unsuccessful attempts to bring the bill to the floor, with Democrats pushing for the ban's removal after the state Supreme Court revived it earlier in the month. Three Republicans joined all 29 Democrats in advancing the legislation, signaling a bipartisan effort to address the issue.
