The legal status of abortions in the state is in limbo after a U.S. District Judge announced his decision to block Arizona's 'personhood' law from being used to criminalize abortion providers.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a motion today to reinstate the 1901 abortion ban in the state.
"The Attorney General's office understands how important this issue is to so many people," said Brittni Thomason, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office."We are urging the court to move quickly to provide clarity and uniformity on the law throughout the state."President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona Brittany Fonteno says the organization will continue to advocate for abortion rights in the state.
