Democrats have a chance to corner Republicans on an unpopular issue – and defend a modern and egalitarian societyThey don’t need Congress. The anti-abortion movement is preparing to ban abortion nationwide as soon as a Republican takes the White House, and under a bizarre legal theory, they don’t think they even need congressional approval to do it. That’s because anti-choice radicals have begun to argue that an 1873 anti-obscenity law, the Comstock Act, effectively bans the mailing, sale,...
Abortion access now is a state-by-state patchwork of laws that is ever-changing as new restrictions take effect.
Friday, while speaking at his Mar-a-Lago home, former President Donald Trump indicated that a new law at the federal level governing abortion is unnecessary, as the Supreme Court decision that overturned
The Arizona Supreme Court has reinstated a criminal law from 1864 that nearly completely banned abortions in the state, resulting in a near-total ban that will be enforceable in 45 days.
With a near total ban about to kick in in Arizona, abortion providers are keeping an eye on options in other states.

Arizona’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that a near-total ban on abortions tied to a Civil War-era law in the state is enforceable. Under that 1864 law, anyone who performs an abortion or helps a woman obtain one can be charged with a felony. The one exception to the prohibition is if an abortion is needed to save a woman’s life. It’s a horrifying ruling, and all the more striking because Arizona is a purple state, not a bastion of deep social conservatism. The retrograde law dates back to...
On Wednesday, Donald Trump said the Arizona Supreme Court ruling that restored an 1864 ban on all abortions “went too far.” Even Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake, an anti-abortion zealot, begged Gov. Katie Hobbs for help and asked the state legislature to pass “an immediate common sense solution.” But that same evening, when Republicans in the Arizona Legislature had a chance to address the 1864 law, they used another option—they ran for the exits. GOP lawmakers ignored votes to suspend...
