Petition: Help Repeal Still Active Abortion Ban in Arizona from the 1800s

The Arizona state Supreme Court just ruled that a law from 1864 banning abortion is still active and enforceable.

The ban dates from the Civil War era, 48 years before Arizona even gained statehood in the U.S. For decades, this antiquated law had been irrelevant since the Roe vs. Wade decision began protecting the right to an abortion nationwide in 1973. But now, with Roe gone, old laws are resurfacing.

And now this 160-year-old abortion ban is resurfacing like a ghost from hell to plague pregnant people in the state.

Please sign this petition to demand the Arizona state legislature finally do what it should have done years ago and repeal this law from the 1800s!
