Lawsuit argues that several burdensome abortion restrictions, including a 24-hour waiting period, violate new state constitutional amendment.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge permanently blocked the state’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy because it denies Arizonans’ access to abortion care in violation of the state’s 2024 constitutional amendment protecting the fundamental right to abortion. 

Arizona health care providers filed a lawsuit today challenging a ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, which is in violation of the state’s new constitutional amendment protecting the fundamental right to abortion.

Arizonans passed Proposition 139 today, which will establish a fundamental right to abortion in the state constitution and provide a path to challenge Arizona’s dangerous abortion ban.

The Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling today in Planned Parenthood Arizona v. Mayes/Hazelrigg, allowing the enforcement of a Civil War-era, near-total ban on abortion.

Multiple, overlapping abortion bans have caused confusion and chaos, forcing Arizona providers to cease abortion services

Today, a judge ruled that Arizona can enforce a near-total ban on abortions.

Today, a federal district court granted a request by Arizona abortion providers, physicians, and advocacy groups to prevent a 2021 law that grants “personhood” rights to fetuses, embryos, and fertilized eggs from being used to criminalize abortion services.

A federal district court will hear oral arguments on whether to block an Arizona law which classifies fetuses, embryos, and fertilized eggs as “people” starting at the point of conception.
