Arizona's highest court on Tuesday reinstated a prohibition on nearly all abortions, based on a law dating back to 1864, which predates statehood and women's suffrage by half a century.
The state will become the 15th state to prohibit abortion at all stages of pregnancy following a ruling that permits officials to enforce the 160-year-old law criminalizing all abortions except in cases where a woman's life is in jeopardy.
