So, about those actions: "House [Dems] and at least one [Rep] tried to open discussion on a repeal of the 1864 abortion ban…. GOP leaders, who command the majority, cut it off twice and quickly adjourned for the week."

So that's going exactly how I expected it to. #Republicans are #ForcedBirthers. They just don't want you to realize that. (At least not until after the election!)

Arizona Republicans shut down discussion on proposed repeal of 1864 abortion law

The fight over a newly revived 1864 Arizona law criminalizing abortion throughout pregnancy unless a woman's life is at risk has engulfed the state's lawmakers. The Arizona Legislature devolved into jeering Wednesday as Republican lawmakers shut down discussion on a proposed repeal of the law. Shouts of "Shame! Shame!" erupted in the state House. The Arizona Supreme Court cleared the way this week for enforcing the pre-statehood abortion ban throughout pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest. A proposed ballot initiative may ask voters in November whether to enshrine abortion protections into the Arizona state constitution.

"Racism and anti-immigrant attitudes in the second half of the 19th century began fueling support of eugenics.

People like Storer were very worried that the wrong Americans were reproducing, and that the nice white Anglo-Saxon ones were having abortions and not having enough children,” Dr. Fissell said."

So apparently Arizona Republicans are all very, very, extremely much against this abortion ban that just somehow... happened in their state?

Well, then I guess we'll see them mobilize to pass a law repealing that ban pronto, right?

Yeah. I'll be waiting, but not holding my breath.

Their words mean *nothing*. Watch their actions. (Or utter lack thereof.)

@StillIRise1963 I wonder if this will affect TSMC's chip-factory plans? Could be harder now to attract top talent. #ArizonaAbortionBan
