The Arizona Senate has voted 16-14 to repeal a near-total abortion ban dating back to 1864, sending HB 2677 to Governor Katie Hobbs for signature. The repeal, which passed with the support of two crossover Republican votes, comes after intense debates and multiple attempts. Governor Hobbs is expected to sign the bill into law, which will then take effect 90 days after the legislative session concludes. This move comes a month after the state's Supreme Court affirmed the validity of the old law, which would have criminalized nearly all abortions.
