Arizona House Republicans blocked two attempts on Wednesday to repeal an 1864 law protecting life at conception. In a near party-line 30-30 vote, Democrats failed to gain a majority of votes to suspend the legislature’s rules to fast-track a so-called “abortion ban repeal” bill that would have overturned the 1864 law that protects all unborn life and imposes prison time for those who “provide, supply, or administer” an abortion.
