The Arizona Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the state can enforce a law that is over 150 years old and bans abortion in practically all cases, including rape and incest, the only exception being when the mother's life is in danger.
Concretely, the case sought to determine whether the state was subject to the law that predated its statehood. A court had blocked the law shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Roe V. Wade decision in 1973, guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion.
