Arizona’s Democratic governor signs a bill to repeal 1864 ban on most abortions

PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has relegated a Civil War-era ban on most abortions to the past by signing a bill Thursday to repeal it.

Hobbs says the move is just the beginning of a fight to protect reproductive health care in Arizona. The repeal of the 1864 law that the state Supreme Court recently reinstated won’t take effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends, which typically happens in June or July.

Arizona was never "Red" in anything but presidential elections.  The state's registered breakdown is almost completely 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 Independent, Republican & Dem.  

Look back at our governors.  Since 1975 we've had more Dems than Reps. And of our R governors, one was indicted (Symmington), one was insane (Meachem) and one only became gov because the Dem went to Washington (Brewer)

The AG's are about the same. Since 1975 there has been 5 Dem AG's to 4 Rep.

Senators as well. People like Hayden and Deconcini spent as much time in office anyone.

I am not sure who told you that. Maybe that is the outwardly stated republican goal but anyone who is actually pro life/anti abortion/ an abortion abolitionist would generally say their goal is to outlaw the murder of innocent children.

A law from the 1800s has little to do with anything anyone says today.

It reminds me of the hate campaign against Gardasil (the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer).  Everyone telling me how horrible and dangerous it was was some sort of religious wacko who really just wanted to terrorize young people with "you might get cancer if you fuck too much!  It's God's judgment against sinners!"

Because both houses of the legislature approved a bill doing so and it was sent to her.

Should anyone be surprised? Abortion isn’t a constitutional question so it was sent back to the states to deal with if they so choose. Arizona chose to do so and half of arfcom is up in arms about the state doing exactly what the USSC said should be done.

In a purple state you have 2 possible outcomes.

Electoral votes go to the D and the A word is legal.

Electoral votes go to the R and the A word is legal.

There are no other possible outcomes.

AZ had already chosen to do so, we had a 15 week law that the AZ supreme court said was overruled by a territorial law from the 1860s, which predated AZ's statehood that completely banned abortion. This law simply brings back the status quo, more or less.

We have had a lot of Dem Governors.  Part of the problem is that most of our Republican Governors were as corrupt as Democrats.  It didn't help that they were Mormons which increases the risk of corruption greatly.  Although I shouldn't just pick on Mormons, in general the more religious the more corrupt for some reason.  It is one of those things that doesn't seem to make sense at first, but makes sense once you see what happens in reality.  Just like outlawing guns doesn't reduce 'gun violence.'

Somewhat.  The Phoenix area has become the new "Inland Empire" for those in CA that can't afford to live in the coastal counties.  Now they can't even afford to live in the original "Inland Empire" of Riverside/Bernadino County and are moving to Phoenix.

You were told incorrectly.

The right to life is inalienable and universal.  Better to leave it to the States than to mandate nationwide that abortion be legal and that such rights be forfeit to the unborn entirely.  But that does not mean that States should be able to use legislation or judicial fiat to legalize murder.  They should not.

The equal protection clause can plausibly be read to prohibit legalized abortion wherever murder for those born is illegal.  Of course, it requires legislation to be enforced, but such legislation is objectively good and desirable.  And in any case, what can be legitimate about a government dehumanizing and permitting the murder of any class of persons?  Such a state has forfeited its own reason for being.

Within the States, certainly such laws that make abortion legal are wrong and the laws should be changed to reflect this, and where they already do, they ought to be preserved.  This repeal is unfortunate and obviously will cost lives, as legalized abortion has been the post-war West's holocaust.  All it took was a handful of cowardly or poorly principled/unprincipled Republicans to get this passed.  They deserve severe condemnation at minimum.  All we can hope at this point is that it takes enough steam out of the effort to amend AZ's constitution to make unrestricted abortion the law of the land.

There are, sadly, a growing number of people here just fine with killing children or at least allowing it, reflecting immorality and scumbaggery of the highest order.  I've noticed it, especially, among the national populist types.  More and more these types increase the gap between conservatives and others on the far Right such as myself and them, although given that they subscribe to some Leftist ideas as part of their fundamentals, even if they usually do not realize it, I suppose it should not be surprising.

Some people are ends-justify-means relativists who happen to just like more Rightist ideas than Leftist in some areas and care more about political expediency than what is right and just; an ever-growing crowd here in GD.  It's pretty disgusting, actually.

The Left loves euphemisms and redefinitions and they have been trying their utmost to redefine elective abortion as fundamental healthcare and highlighting a few examples of medically necessary abortions not performed as examples of what happens when laws restricting abortion are passed even though the laws did not actually prohibit them (with some cases being clear malpractice).

The Supreme Court was not really empowered to do more than that given the case before them.  Doesn't mean what Arizona did was right or something it should be able to do under the Constitution or on basic principles of sound governance.

While all of the above is true, this particular (D) governor made it to office through fraud.

Also until very recently the average (D) governor in AZ was well to the right of a typical (R) elected official east of the Mississippi,
so it's apples and oranges. Babbit and Mofford would be unrecognizable as (D) candidates by today's standards.

Any time you authorize the killing of an entire class of people based on some arbitrary parameter, there is no reason to think the government will stop there.

And that's all abortion is: government condoned murder of an entire class of people who have done nothing wrong, using some arbitrary parameter as the justification.
