The Arizona Supreme Court just dropped a ruling that effectively bans nearly all abortions in the state by upholding an anti-abortion law passed in 1864. The 160-year-old law will now go into effect in 14 days.

The law not only bans abortion, but it makes the crime a felony “for anyone who performs or helps a woman obtain one.” The only abortions allowed in the state will be to save a pregnant woman’s life, which is truly rare.

Abortion will be almost entirely illegal in Arizona after the state Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld an 1864 law that made performing abortion a felony.

In a 4-2 decision, the court rejected arguments that it should uphold the current 15-week abortion ban passed by then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R) in 2022 and enforced after the end of Roe v. Wade.

Instead, the court ruled that the Civil War-era law passed before Arizona was even a state should be enforced. The court ruled to lift the stay on the law, meaning it goes into effect in 14 days.

The law makes abortion a felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who performs or helps a woman obtain one. It includes an extremely narrow exception for “when it is necessary” to save a pregnant person’s life.

“The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom,” Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) said in a statement. “Make no mistake, by effectively striking down a law passed this century and replacing it with one from 160 years ago, the Court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans.”

Expect the left and the media to go absolutely apoplectic over this ruling.
