Arizona lawmakers are on the brink of overturning a 19th-century law that bans abortion, which has reignited political debates and divided anti-abortion activists and Republican politicians.
The 1864 law, previously dormant, became a contentious issue after the State Supreme Court allowed its enforcement following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, leading to heightened tensions within the Legislature.
Democratic efforts to repeal the ban were initially thwarted by conservative lawmakers, resulting in vocal confrontations within the State Capitol, with emotional shouting and prayers being observed.
In a surprising turn of events, a bipartisan coalition in the Arizona House supported the repeal, signaling a shift in attitudes towards the controversial law and potentially marking a significant moment in the state's political landscape.
