The Arizona Supreme Court delayed the reinforcement of an 1864 near-total abortion ban after Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a repeal of the ban.
The ruling allows Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, to appeal the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Mayes’s office had asked for the delay in order to figure out its next course of action with the appeal. The attorney general said the 90-day stay will allow her office to “consider the best legal course of action to take from here, including a potential petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
The ruling cleared up confusion about a timeline as it states that the ban cannot go into effect until Aug. 12, which was the time when the legislation was set to go into effect.
