Arizona is at the epicenter of an abortion dilemma that has seen states roll out a patchwork of laws in the two years since Roe was overturned.
In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade after hearing the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The decision gave states the power to ban abortions or implement more restrictions. In Arizona, the state is currently abiding by a 15-week abortion ban signed by former Gov. Doug Ducey in 2022, but the pre-statehood 1864 abortion law could take effect as early as June 27. The repeal approved by lawmakers would take effect 90 days after the legislative session concludes, in June or July.
In Wisconsin, a 174-year-old abortion law banned abortion at any point in pregnancy with no exceptions for rape, incest or the health of the pregnant individual. That law only made an exception for cases in which a medical provider determined it was necessary to preserve the life of the mother. This year, the state approved a bill to ban abortions after 14 weeks.

On May 1, Florida began enforcing a 6-week abortion ban like the Georgia and North Carolina abortion bans. Some democratic states have laws or executive orders to protect access to abortion.
President Biden has criticized former President Donald Trump for taking credit for overturning Roe v. Wade. The president is campaigning on reviving the landmark Roe ruling and has made abortion protection central to his reelection campaign.
