Planned Parenthood Arizona said in a legal filing the courts need to “harmonize” the state's two different laws on abortion after Attorney General Mark Brnovich moved last week to reinstate an almost complete ban.
PHOENIX — Planned Parenthood Arizona said in a legal filing Wednesday the courts need to “harmonize” the state's two different laws on abortion after Attorney General Mark Brnovich moved last week to reinstate an almost complete ban on the procedure dating back more than a century.
Planned Parenthood Arizona said in its new court filing that providers must now navigate inconsistent statements from elected officials and insisted “this court has a duty to harmonize all of the Arizona Legislature’s enactments as they exist today.” Arizona also has a law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy that Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed into law in March. Ducey has insisted it takes precedence over the near-total ban Brnovich wants to enforce.
"While we wait for the court to issue its opinion, we will continue to seek to protect the most vulnerable,” she added.
