Arizona senators have the votes to repeal the 1864 abortion law after weeks of turmoil in the state.

The Arizona Senate was poised to repeal the state's 1864 abortion ban, with a final vote expected to send a measure to the Democratic governor that would end weeks of turmoil and keep in place a 15-week abortion enacted in 2022. In an occasionally testy session, two Republicans joined Democrats in backing the repeal measure.

The 15-week ban, which Arizona is set to return to, does not include exceptions for rape or incest. It does allow for abortions, even after 15 weeks, if a doctor determines there is a medical emergency. The repeal will not go into effect until 90 days after the Legislature concludes its session — which may be weeks away. The 1864 law could still go into effect in June, and remain active until the legislative session concludes and the 90-day period is completed.
