Former President Trump was asked this morning if Arizona went too far with yesterday’s state supreme court ruling that reestablished an 1860s law outlawing abortion.

Here’s the video:

Did Arizona really go too far? Trump keeps talking about the will of the people, but the state’s supreme court justices are chosen by the governor who is elected directly via the will of the people. And in the ruling yesterday, the court was refusing to interfere with the legislative process and deferring the issue of abortion back to the legislature:

The Arizona court, in a 4-2 decision, said that it wouldn’t interfere with the legislature’s authority to craft abortion policy and that the body had voiced its “unwavering intent” since the passage of the 1864 law to prohibit the procedure.

“A policy matter of this gravity must ultimately be resolved by our citizens through the legislature or the initiative process,” the court’s opinion said. “We defer, as we are constitutionally obligated to do, to the legislature’s judgment, which is accountable to, and thus reflects, the mutable will of our citizens.”

So did the state really go to far? I don’t think so and I think Trump just wants to appear ‘moderate’ on abortion, which is a different position he took during his first term. I want the 1864 law to stand because it protects the unborn and that is paramount. But I suspect the barely-Republican legislature will scramble to repeal the law and who knows where abortion will be when that process ends, especially with a Democrat governor.
