What is the political fallout of Arizona's abortion ban?

On Tuesday, April 9, the Arizona state Supreme Court ruled to
uphold near total-ban on abortions dating back to 1864. After the
U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the exact
parameters for Arizona went into question. Just months before,
then-Governor Republican Doug Ducey signed a law that limited
abortions to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. In 1973, when Roe v.
Wade went into effect nationally, Arizona had an abortion law
dating back to its territorial days. So the question became: which
ruling would be the law of the land in Arizona? At the time, the
state Court of Appeals overruled and instated the 15-week law. This
week, the Arizona Supreme Court reversed this decision, allowing
the 19th century law to take affect. Today on The
Gaggle, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo
Pitzl dissect Arizona's new, but ancient, abortion law and how
it will impact the state politically and legally. First, state
politics reporter Stacey Barchenger joins the podcast to
break down why the justices allowed at 160-year law to stand and
who will benefit politically from the decision. Later, University
of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias joins The Gaggle to
investigate the legal fallout from the court's decision. Learn more
