Arizona Supreme Court rules a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is
enforceable
...
The ruling allows an 1864 law in Arizona to stand that made abortion a
felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who
performs one or helps a woman obtain one.
...
The decision -- which could shutter abortion clinics in the state -- effectively undoes a lower court's ruling that stated that a more
recent 15-week ban from March 2022 superseded the 1864 law.
The Arizona Supreme Court said it would put its decision on hold for
14 days, writing that it would send the case back to a lower court so
that court could consider "additional constitutional challenges" that
haven't yet been cleared up.
Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said moments after the ruling
that she would not enforce the law.
