Arizona Legislature Moves to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban Amid Political Shift

In a surprising political shift, several Arizona Republicans have joined Democrats to advance the repeal of the state's near-total abortion ban from 1864, signaling a potential change in the GOP's stance on abortion rights.

Arizona's Republican-controlled legislature has taken steps to repeal the state's 1864 near-total abortion ban, with key votes from some Republicans.
The move comes after a significant national outcry and a recent state Supreme Court ruling that upheld the old ban.
Anti-abortion activists show a muted response, focusing on defending a 15-week abortion ban instead of the historical near-total ban.
Political analysts suggest the GOP's shift may be a response to backlash and changing public opinion following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The repeal still faces a vote in the state Senate, and if passed, would be signed by Arizona's Democratic governor.
