The Arizona House of Representatives has passed a bill, HB2677, to repeal an 1864 near-total abortion ban, which only allows exceptions to save the patient's life. This significant legislative move, which took place after three weeks of intense pressure and multiple attempts, was supported by a narrow vote of 32-28. Notably, three Republican members, Matthew Gress, Tim Dunn, and Justin Wilmeth, crossed party lines to join all Democrats in favor of the repeal. The bill now advances to the state Senate, where it is set to be voted on possibly next week. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the repeal could take several months to take effect.
