"The Arizona Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the 1864 near-total abortion ban left millions of women and doctors wondering what their rights are when seeking or providing reproductive health care. To answer your questions, we’ve created this website to provide a safe resource as you seek reproductive options.
"It may seem like an uncertain time. But my message to Arizona women is this: the fight for our reproductive freedoms is far from over. Since I have taken office, I have fought for your right to make decisions about your body and your future. I refuse to let radical extremists take control over women’s bodies or tell my 22-year-old daughter that she has fewer rights than I did when I was her age."
― Governor Katie Hobbs
"The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court is unconscionable and an affront to freedom. Make no mistake, by upholding a law from 160 years ago, the Court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans.
"The decision to reimpose a law from a time when Arizona wasn't a state, the Civil War was raging, and women couldn't even vote will go down in history as a stain on our state. But let me be completely clear, as long as I am Attorney General, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law in this state. We are now working on the best legal strategy to fight back against this outrageous decision. Because of a separate court order, the earliest date the 1864 law could take effect is June 27, 2024. But rest assured, I will do everything in my power to prevent the 1864 law from ever taking effect."
― Attorney General Kris Mayes
