Donald Trump says an Arizona law that criminalizes nearly all abortions goes too far and the former president called on Arizona lawmakers to change it.
He told reporters at a press event with Speaker Mike Johnson in Mar-a-Lago Friday evening that there is no need for a national abortion ban anymore. That's because he already 'broke' Roe v. Wade, which was overturned in 2022. But Trump refused to clarify if he identifies as pro-choice or pro-life. The former president also compared himself to Ronald Reagan, who was once a Democrat
President Joe Biden traveled to Florida to take on Donald Trump on his home turf - ridiculing comments the Republican made about abortion and the Bibles the ex-president is hawking.
After Republican-appointed justices on the Arizona Supreme Court cleared the way for a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban to take effect, more than a few GOP officials ran for cover. This wasn’t surprising: The Arizona law will have some fans on the far-right, but with the American mainstream, it’ll be politically radioactive. It was against this backdrop that Sen. Joni Ernst appeared on Fox Business and was asked for her reaction. The Iowa Republican replied: Right off the bat, it’s worth...
Republican presumptive nominee struggles to articulate position on divisive issue after meeting with House speakerFacing the press alongside the House speaker, fellow Republican Mike Johnson, Donald Trump bragged: “We broke Roe v Wade.”The former president made the stark admission about his dominant role in attacks on abortion rights at the end of a week in which the rightwing Arizona state supreme court ruled that an 1864 law imposing a near-total ban could go back into effect.

Leaders in the pro-life community are warning Americans about the pro-abortion industry’s deceptive ways, as over 20 percent of states face the possibility of voting on an abortion-related ballot measure in November. The states that may see these ballot measures are Florida, Maryland, New York, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, and South Dakota.
A new abortion rights advocacy organization, Montanans Securing Reproductive Rights, officially launched its ballot initiative, which aims to enshrine abortion rights in Montana’s state constitution. If the petition drive succeeds, it will make abortion central to the 2024 campaign and likely give vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, a staunch abortion rights supporter, a boost. “Abortion is a topic that’s become politicized and stigmatized, but in reality, we all love someone or are someone...
When the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to get an abortion in June 2022, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the court “should reconsider” other rights it currently recognizes – like the rights for same-sex couples to have sex and marry. If the Supreme Court overturns legal precedents on these and other issues, old state laws that haven’t been enforced, possibly for centuries, can suddenly spring back to life. This is what happened after the Arizona Supreme Court...

The Iowa Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thursday on whether the state’s six-week abortion ban should go into effect after a Polk County Judge temporarily blocked the law from being enacted. The court heard arguments Thursday on the constitutionality of an abortion ban in the state. State Solicitor General Eric Wessan argued the court should
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs called her state’s decision to ban abortion in nearly all cases, including rape and incest, “outrageous.” “The devastating impact that this ban will have on healthcare for women across the state is just unconscionable,” she said. The ban was originally enacted in 1864, before Arizona was even a state and women had the right to vote. Governor Hobbs pointed out, however, that Arizonans will have the opportunity to “enshrine abortion” in their constitution during the...
For a third straight week, Democrats at the Arizona Legislature are attempting to repeal the state’s near-total ban on abortions after a court concluded the state can enforce the long-dormant law that permits the procedure only to save a patient’s life. Republicans have used procedural votes to block earlier repeal efforts after the court revived
