“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.
The 15-wk #AbortionBan had already been paused since Dec, when Reuss & other providers filed suit, which argued that the ballot measure, which adds constitutional protections for #abortion until about 24 wks, meant the ban was now #unconstitutional. #Arizona’s AG, Kris Mayes, had agreed not to enforce the ban while litigation played out.
The short ruling, from Judge Frank Moskowitz of #MaricopaCounty superior court, agreed the 15-wk ban was unconstitutional & forbade AZ ofcls from enforcing it.
@Nonilex Are Dems planning to actually repeal the 'unconstitutional' ban?
or haven't we learned that unenforced but still on the books laws are land mines waiting to be tripped?
