The Arizona Supreme Court is set to make a crucial decision regarding the state's abortion laws. The court will determine whether the current ban on nearly all abortions after 15 weeks will remain in effect or if it will revert to a much older law dating back to the Civil War era.
The older law, established 123 years ago, prohibited abortions in all cases except when necessary to save the pregnant person's life. Violating this law could result in a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers.
