Arizona's governor signs a bill to repeal 1864 ban on most abortions

Democratic Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs signed a bill repealing a Civil War-era abortion ban, marking the start of efforts to safeguard reproductive health care in Arizona.
The 1864 law prohibiting most abortions will be repealed once the legislative session ends, likely in June or July.
The repeal follows a 16-14 Senate vote, with two GOP lawmakers siding with Democrats against the ban. Hobbs criticized the ban's origin, dating back to a time of slavery and women's disenfranchisement.
