PHOENIX — Arizona’s attorney general said she will do all she can to mitigate the impacts of the Civil War-era abortion ban that the state’s Supreme Court ruled was enforceable this week. Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, told NBC News in an in-person interview on Thursday that her office is pursuing refusing to prosecute abortion providers and patients to helping license Arizona doctors in other states after the court decided in favor of the 1864 near-total abortion ban Tuesday.
And so we will do everything that it takes to accomplish that.” Abortion providers like Dr. Ronald Yunis, of Acacia’s Women Center in Phoenix, said that while he appreciates Mayes’ promise, it may mean little for doctors like him who wouldn’t be legally allowed to treat patients without fear of arrest. “It’s still against the law,” Yunis pointed out. “If it’s illegal, I cannot” perform abortions.
