Abortion Rights and Laws in Arizona

SOURCE www.breitbart.com
Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, putting the issue of abortion back on the ballot in all 50 states. Arizona recently approved a ballot initiative calling for a Constitutional right to abortion up to 24 weeks, beyond the current 15-week limit. This initiative may have been driven by political motives rather than genuine concern for abortion access in the state.
