An Arizona Supreme Court decision that will end virtually all abortions in the state puts the issue front and center in a critical battleground state. Democrats immediately pounced on the ruling Tuesday, blaming former President Donald Trump for the loss of abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the national right to abortion.

Brutinel, Clint Bolick and James Beene listen to oral arguments on April 20, 2021, in Phoenix. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, April 9, 2024, that the state can enforce its long-dormant law criminalizing all abortions except when a mother’s life is at stake.

The decision will give Arizona the strictest abortion laws of the six top-tier battlegrounds that are likely to decide the next president. The law allows doctors or others to be prosecuted for performing an abortion at any time unless the mother’s life is in danger. It does not include exceptions for rape or incest. Georgia outlaws abortions about after six weeks, while Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all allow abortions up to 20 weeks or later.
Two-thirds of midterm voters in Arizona said the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade was an important factor to their vote for that election.
