Arizona Republicans Splinter Over Repeal of 1864 Abortion Ban

The State Senate introduced a bill to repeal a near-total abortion ban dating back to the Civil War, while the House blocked an effort to do so.

If the Arizona Supreme Court upholds a near-total abortion ban, voters may be more willing to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
