Arizona House Votes to Repeal Near-Total Abortion Ban After Weeks of Pressure

Arizona’s House of Representatives voted to repeal a near-total abortion ban, a move that came after mounting pressure from Democrats and even some Republicans who faced backlash from swing voters. The repeal, if approved by the Senate, would allow abortions up to 15 weeks. The vote comes amid a national debate over abortion rights, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in June 2022 reigniting the issue. Arizona is one of several battleground states where the issue is expected to play a significant role in the upcoming elections.
