Abortion foes appeal to revive Arizona's 1864 near-total ban

[RandySF]

A Scottsdale-based law firm is hoping to reinstate a near-total abortion ban from 1864, filing an appeal on Wednesday to overturn a court ruling that allowed limited access to the procedure.

Alliance Defending Freedom wants the Arizona Supreme Court to void the decision of the state appeals court that determined a 2022 law outlawing elective abortions after the 15-week mark supersedes the near-total ban originally written in 1864.

Among their arguments is that the state’s history of Republicans winning elections is evidence enough that both the legislature and citizens side with the 1864 law and want to abolish abortion in Arizona nearly entirely.

“Arizonans deserve to have their laws fully enforced. They made their voice heard at the ballot box — electing Legislature after Legislature to protect life as much as possible. And lawmakers delivered,” the attorneys wrote.

1. "electing Legislature after Legislature". Wait, I thought the Arizona election was STOLEN

Are they saying the same legislators elected on ballots that Hobbs and Biden were elected on are ALSO legitimate?

2. What would right-wing conservatives do if women could abort unwanted pregnancy at will?

Handmaid's Tale time, probably. Comatose throughout pregnancy.
