Similar Stories to Fox Guest: Arizona Abortion Ruling 'almost Seems Scripted' on Bing News

Fox regular Byron York opined on how terrible it was that Trump was going to get "stuck with" the blame for anti-abortion zealots like the ones on the Arizona Supreme Court that just ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable. Here's more on that ruling: The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban still on the books in the state is enforceable, a bombshell decision that adds the state to the growing lists of places where abortion care is effectively banned. The ruling allows an 1864 law in Arizona to stand that made abortion a felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who performs one or helps a woman obtain one. The law — which was codified in 1901, and again in 1913 — outlaws abortion from the moment of conception but includes an exception to save the woman’s life. That Civil War-era law — enacted a half-century before Arizona even gained statehood — was never repealed and an appellate court ruled last year that it could remain on the books as long as it was “harmonized” with a 2022 law, leading to substantial confusion in Arizona regarding exactly when during a pregnancy abortion was outlawed.read more
