The motion now heads to Governor Hobbs to potentially sign
The motion to repeal the ban now heads to Governor Katie Hobbs to potentially sign. Governor Hobbs has told ABC15 multiple times that she would sign the repeal immediately once it reaches her desk.
Several senators spoke about their motivations for voting as numbers were tallied on the repeal bill. “Rest assured, my office is exploring every option available to prevent this outrageous 160-year-old law from ever taking effect,” she said. The battle over abortion in Arizona reignited after the State Supreme Court decided to ban nearly all abortions on April 9, reverting to an 1864 penal code. Since then, there have been multiple rallies held in the Valley as both sides speak out.
