Last week the Arizona supreme court upheld a law first passed in
1864, which, if it goes into effect, will ban almost all abortions
in the state. Democrats were quick to denounce the ruling, but some
prominent Republicans were not happy with it either, including
Donald Trump. Since the overturning of Roe v Wade nearly two years
ago, individual states have had the ability to restrict abortion
rights and several have jumped at the chance. This week, Jonathan
Freedland and Moira Donegan of Guardian US discuss why Republicans
are divided on restrictions they worked so hard to put in place.
Why are once staunch supporters of abortion bans wavering? And as
November fast approaches, will abortion be the issue that swings
the election?
