Arizona Senate passes bill to repeal Civil War-era abortion ban

PHOENIX — The Arizona Senate has signed off on a bill to repeal an abortion ban dating back to the 19th century.

Two Republicans, T.J. Shope and Shawnna Bolick, sided with Democrats on Wednesday to deliver enough votes to pass House Bill 2677, which would repeal a law that would only allow abortion in circumstances that would save a woman's life.

While explaining her vote, Bolick described herself as pro-life and recalled personal pregnancy stories to make the point that "not every pregnancy is the same."

Republicans complained about how the bill was quickly fast-tracked through the legislative process after the Arizona Supreme Court recently decided that the 1864 abortion law could be reinstated.
