PHOENIX — A new measure signed into law Thursday temporarily allows Arizona abortion providers to perform the procedure in neighboring California. California Gov. Gavin Newsom enacted the bill, which takes effect immediately, in response to a recent Arizona Supreme Court ruling that said a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable in the state. The law also would allow patients to receive abortion services from their Arizona health care providers in California through Nov. 30.
The state’s Supreme Court pushed back its enforcement by several months, meaning Arizona's 15-week abortion ban to be the law of the land until Sept. 26, according to the Arizona attorney general's office. The California Legislative Women’s Caucus took the reins in drafting the state's legislation. Their chair, State Sen. Nancy Skinner, said the new law can provide the women of Arizona an abortion safe haven when the 1864 statute takes effect.
