Arizona lawmakers have voted to repeal an abortion ban from 1864, with Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs expected to sign the legislation. The repeal, which garnered bipartisan support, will preserve access to abortion for millions of women. The ban, a Civil War-era law, was recently allowed to take effect by the state's highest court. The legislation is set to go into effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session.
