'Connect the dots': Abortion at heart of 2024 elections in Arizona
The right to abortion, contraception and reproductive freedom are front and center in the courts, presidential race, state legislative campaigns and ballot initiatives.
In Arizona, the state Supreme Court could decide any day which of two extreme laws will have supremacy: A 2022 law that bans abortion after 15 weeks or an 1864 law that bans abortion outright, even in cases of rape or incest.
A measure on the November ballot could enshrine reproductive rights into the Arizona Constitution. On March 13, the GOP-controlled Arizona Legislature blocked attempts by Democrats to force a vote on contraception access.
And in the high-profile U.S. Senate race in Arizona, reproductive rights is a defining issue between U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Phoenix Democrat, and Republican Kari Lake.
