Summary
An Arizona court permanently blocked the state’s 15-week abortion ban, citing the 2024 ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution.
The ruling follows a legal battle after Arizona briefly reinstated an 1864 near-total ban, sparking national outrage.
While the decision prevents enforcement of the 15-week ban, restrictions like provider requirements and waiting periods remain.
Advocates vow to continue fighting for full abortion access.
I mean, it’s about as permanent as you can get within the US’s political system. It’s not really up for “interpretation” like Roe v. Wade, it’s literally just “the State Constitution has changed so this law is now unconstitutional”. If a future judge(s) were to overrule this, it would be blatantly and objectively partisan, which is a much bigger deal with state courts than it is Federal ones
I would not be at all surprised if the case went up to SCOTUS, seeing as how that’s the whole point.
SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over state constitutions.
The fuck they don’t.
I’m not saying the Supremacy Clause isn’t a thing. What I’m saying is that SCOTUS has no jurisdiction to decide if a state law violates that state’s constitution.
SCOTUS don’t give a fuck
I thought it was an abortion joke
