This AZ Supreme Court decision may very well have been made to intentionally hurt Trump’s chances of winning AZ, a state which may end up being very consequential, once again, in this year’s election. It seems pretty clear to me that Trump’s interest in this decision has a lot more to do with that then a desire to prevent pro-life legislation. And to para-phrase Trump himself, you should go with your heart, but you also have to win elections. This year’s election is of historic importance, as AZ’s role in it will be.
I saw a story elsewhere that said Arizona had passed a statute in 2022 establishing a 15 week limit, presumably with the usual exceptions regarding significant and carefully defined physical health risks to the mother. I presume this would have been done after the USSC ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson.
If that is correct, the Arizona Supreme Court apparently held that an 1864 statute supersedes a 2022 statute on the same matter. Political gamesmanship was the first thought that came to mind, but I don’t know anything about the composition of the Arizona Supreme Court.
The pro-abortion response, however, was entirely predictable. Once again, they have run up a false flag and are using the 1864 statute to drum up support for a bait and switch constitutional amendment with open-ended language intended to abolish not only time limits but parental notification and consent, informed consent, fathers’ rights, counseling on alternatives to abortion including adoption, etc.
“This AZ Supreme Court decision may very well have been made to intentionally hurt Trump’s chances of winning AZ....”
I find delicious the contortions that are required to make a pro-life court and legislature to be conspirators in an anti-MAGA plot.
“This AZ Supreme Court decision may very well have been made to intentionally hurt Trump’s chances of winning AZ...”

Arizona has not done a damned thing to clean up election fraud
That is the first idea I thought, as well. It was too confusing about How this could happen in a leftist state.
Someone wants Trump boxed in on abortion.
If I properly understood, it was the AZ SC who acted, but only in the absence of action by the AZ state legislature.
If correct, the Court must have accepted a particular case on the issue, forcing this outcome. Right?
Due to the DOBBS decision by the US SC, the AZ Court had to comply with that decision. They were not authorized to legislate any exceptions.
The demonics want abortion as the first plank of the 2024 Democrat campaign platform because it polls #1 among their demonic followers.
Someone upthread made a brilliant point, about the results if Biden should cheat to a “W”, on November 5th. The multitudes of abortions that could result are astonishing and a political promise.
Once again, the cunning Demonratics box our candidate and our nation in, through another tactical manipulation.
