The Arizona state Supreme Court just ruled that a law from 1864 banning abortion is still active and enforceable.
The ban dates from the Civil War era, 48 years before Arizona even gained statehood in the U.S. For decades, this antiquated law had been irrelevant since the Roe vs. Wade decision began protecting the right to an abortion nationwide in 1973. But now, with Roe gone, old laws are resurfacing.
A near-total ban on abortion, the old law goes into effect at the moment of conception — without any window of time for the person affected to consider their options and intervene.
It lists abortion as a felony offense that can land pregnant people and doctors in prison for up to five years. While it includes an exception for some medical emergencies to save the pregnant person's life, it does not include any exception for victims of rape or incest.
This is what the Republican party wants life in the United States to go back to: living under laws from the Civil War era, controlling and monitoring women's bodies, forcing people to act as hosts to fetuses — even those conceived through violence and abuse.
P.S. Demand the Arizona state legislature finally do what it should have done years ago and officially repeal this misogynistic law from the 1800s! Sign the petition.
