State leaders have conflicting views on what the abortion law is in Arizona. The final determination is likely to come from the Arizona Supreme Court.
Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article misstated the name of the medical association that filed the lawsuit.seeking to neutralize the state's territorial-era anti-abortion law and allow physicians to restart the procedure in the state.
Isaacson's medical practice website currently refers patients seeking abortions to his Las Vegas clinic. The way to do this, the lawyers argue, is to"harmonize" the existing laws with a declaratory judgment"to allow licensed physicians to provide abortion care subject to certain restrictions," the suit states.
The lawsuit argues that in the years since 1973's Roe v. Wade decision, which made abortion legal nationally, Arizona passed laws that essentially granted a right to legal abortion, including laws that ban anyone but a physician from performing a surgical or medical abortion and a law passed this year that allows abortion up to the 15th week of pregnancy.
