Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs says, 'A law from 1864 written by 27 men cannot be allowed to govern the lives of millions of Arizona women'

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

In four votes, the chamber deadlocked 30-30 on a procedural motion that would have allowed a repeal bill to come to the floor, with one Republican joining the 29 Democrats. “I will continue to call on the legislature to do its job and repeal this law,” Hobbs said in a statement. “A law from 1864 written by 27 men cannot be allowed to govern the lives of millions of Arizona women.”

Opposing abortion is seen as sacrosanct to many Republican voters, and crossing party lines on such a touchstone issue would be rare in highly partisan times. Confident that public opinion is on their side in supporting abortion rights, Democrats have sought to elevate the issue since the US Supreme Court rescinded the constitutional right to abortion in 2022 and Republican-led states went about setting new severe restrictions.

The old law was revived by a state Supreme Court ruling on April 9, and unless the legislature intervenes it could take effect within 60 days.
