Quote:Arizona lawmakers on Wednesday voted to repeal a Civil War-era law that banned nearly all abortions, after a pair of Republican senators joined with all Democrats.
The Republican-controlled Senate had enough votes to pass legislation repealing the 1864 law by a razor-thin margin, 16-14. All 14 Democrats were joined by two Republicans: state Sens. Shawnna Bolick and T.J. Shope.
The bill next heads to Gov. Katie Hobbs (D), who has promised to sign it.
“This is a clear statement that the Legislature does not want the territorial ban to be enforceable,” said state Sen. Priya Sundareshan (D), who voted yes to repeal.
