So, in 1864, a legislature of 27 white men created a body of laws that discriminated against Black people and people of color and considered girls as young as 10 able to consent to sex, and they adopted a body of criminal laws written by one single man.

Might consider making the title something more like 'History of resurrected AZ Abortion law by Heather Cox Richardson'.

Right now it's very ... non-descript
