Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has signed the bill to repeal Arizona’s abortion ban, making it so babies will continue being aborted in the southwestern state.
In a gleeful message, Hobbs celebrated her own signing of the bill.
“With the stroke of my pen, the 1864 abortion ban is about to OFFICIALLY become a thing of the past,” she wrote on X (Twitter).
However, under the state Constitution, any law repeal doesn’t take effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends, and the end date can vary. For example, if this session ends in late July like last year, the repeal would only become effective in late October or early November.
This week, the Arizona Senate bowed to the pro-abortion mob by approving a measure to repeal the state’s new abortion ban before it ever reached implementation to begin saving babies.
With the ban repealed, babies would lose almost all protection in the state. A 15-week abortion ban would go into place that only allows protecting babies up to that point – meaning 90% of more abortions would become legal.
Two Republicans, T.J. Shope and Shawnna Bolick, sided with Democrats on Wednesday to deliver enough votes to pass House Bill 2677, which would repeal the pro-life law that made Arizona one of 19 states to protect babies from abortion.
Bolick described herself as pro-life but said she supported abortions in some rare circumstances. Instead of backing legislation to allow abortions in those very rare cases, she voted to subject every single unborn children to potentially be killed in an abortion.
State Sen. Jake Hoffman condemned the Republican members who voted in favor of the measure and other ARepublicans complained the bill was fast-tracked through the legislature instead of committees having time to evaluate the legislation and take public input.
The Arizona Life Coalition was saddened by the developments.
“This repeal signifies more than a legislative shift; it marks a profound loss for those who stand for the sanctity of every innocent human life from conception,” it told LifeNews. “Every abortion is a loss of a priceless human being and a failure to protect the most defenseless among us.”
Murder is murder no matter what.
Gp after abortionist. The chair seems fit.
What has changed about babies since 1864?
What changed is that back in 1864 they were biased against women so the femanazis say
“Murder is murder no matter what.”
And all involved conspire to murder.
I am as pro life as anyone in this forum. Still we have to recognize that the left seized the state incrementally, and we have to take it back incrementally. Look at the disaster on the abortion related ballot measures in Kansas and Ohio.
I think failure of this bill to pass would have guaranteed the success of the abortion Al constitutional amendment that has already qualified for the November ballot. Now I think maybe we can beat it (and save the state for Trump.) in that case the recently passed 15 week ban will stand. I grove the loss of those who will still be killed, but I’d rather save some babies that no babies, and I think the latter is what we were looking at
Grieve not grove
Governor Hobbs is nothing but a selfish cold blooded murderer.
I agree with you. If that initiative passes viable babies will be murdered. We have to head that off.
At least this risk might be mitigated a little.
Satan’s Army cannot stand a day without thousands of innocent babies being slaughtered.
Wait, is this the same brave, selfless Katie Hobbs who hid in the women’s bathroom from the reporter during the election?
Guess it would to hard to find/prosecute all the women involved but they should find/prosecute abortionists. Wouldn’t stop street abortions, tho.
God knows we tried.
Babies can’t vote so Katie Hobbs can’t get them voting the Rat party so they are expendable for the leftist cause. Sux to be the Katie bunch now and in eternity.
