It's been 1 year since Dobbs. What's changed in Arizona? Listen to The Gaggle to find out
It’s been a year since the U.S. Supreme Court erased federal abortion rights in a ruling that divided Americans and injected the issue into the 2022 midterm elections.
The ruling upended abortion laws across the country and created confusion in Arizona over whether a 19th century near-total ban on abortions was the law, or a 2021 law limiting most abortions to within 15 weeks of conception.
Arizona’s legal landscape on this issue remains less than clear, and many candidates appear eager to test the political potency of abortion as an issue in 2024.
