The Arizona Legislature has approved a ban on abortions after 15 weeks with few exceptions, a bill that closely resembles the Mississippi ban currently under consideration by the Supreme Court.
The bill heads to Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who is expected to sign it into law. Like the Mississippi law currently in contention, the Arizona bill makes very narrow exceptions for medical emergencies in which the mother’s life is in danger but not for cases of rape or incest. The 15-week ban passed the Arizona House on Thursday on a party-line vote about a month after it passed out of the Senate.
Arizona’s 15-week ban is one of two state efforts to mirror the law in contention in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The other state legislature to pass a similar 15-week ban recently is in Florida, whose governor, Ron DeSantis, is expected to sign it into law. If he does and the law is not successfully challenged in the courts, it is slated to go into effect on July 1.
Red state lawmakers, emboldened by the prospect of the majority-conservative court ruling in their favor, have introduced a wave of anti-abortion measures that would survive in a post-Roe society.
