Energized by the U.S. Supreme Court s newly cemented conservative majority, Republican lawmakers throughout the country have put forward a host of aggressive bills that would limit access to and, in many cases, criminalize abortion.
In Arizona alone, GOP legislators have introduced more than 10 pieces of legislation that propose an array of changes, from restrictions on abortion medications and online reproductive health referrals to murder charges for those who terminate pregnancies. The Arizona voters spoke in November, and they elected majorities that have professed to be pro-life in the House and Senate, said Center for Arizona Policy Director Cathi Herrod, the state s leading anti-abortion lobbyist. We’re very hopeful about this session.
