Arizona House votes to repeal law protecting life from moment of conception

In a 32-28 vote, Arizona legislators passed an “abortion ban repeal” bill designed to overturn an 1864 pro-life law. Republicans have a narrow majority in the Arizona House, but the bill passed because three Republicans joined the Democrats against the pro-life measure. The repeal will now be considered by the Arizona Senate where Republicans also hold a narrow majority. Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs has indicated she will sign the bill into law if the Senate passes it.
