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 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
