This law is so terrible for women in our state. It will have devastating consequences, which is why I called for them immediately to repeal this.
Katie Hobbs
The Public Record
Katie Marie Hobbs is an American politician serving as the 24th governor of Arizona since January 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously held the position of Arizona Secretary of State from 2015 to 2021, where she focused on election integrity and voter access. Hobbs has been an advocate for various issues, including public health and education reform, during her political career.
The Republicans in the state legislature who are now saying it goes too far, they voted for this ban in 2022, that explicitly left this law in place.
There's no question that this ban and this ruling is going to motivate voters up and down the ballot because Arizonans are outraged about it.
I've been calling on the legislature to repeal this archaic ban from day one of my administration.
It is really unconscionable that folks in Arizona now are going to have to go to Nevada, California, New Mexico or Colorado to get the care that they need.
These extreme legislators sent a fetal personhood bill to my desk that I was able to veto last year.
Look, Arizonans are going to be able to weigh in on this and enshrine abortion in our states' constitution in November. And I am confident that when given the opportunity, they will vote to protect abortion access.
Arizonans across the state are reeling from this decision that reinstates the most draconian ban in the country. This is a ban that, as you said, was passed in 1864 before we were a state, before women had the right to vote.
I'm taking action to fix the migrant crisis, with the federal government will not.
The National Guard will head to multiple border locations including Lukeville where there's new video that shows hundreds of migrants in limbo.
