President Biden mixed up which century he's living in while urging Arizona voters to elect him after the state's Supreme Court ruled a decades-old pro-life law would go back into effect.
President Biden appealed to Arizona voters during a press conference Wednesday at the White House as he attempted to court those upset over the state's new abortion ruling. Biden made the remarks during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida — the president was asked for his reaction to a recent ruling by the state Supreme Court that outlawed abortion in all non-life-threatening cases.
1st century, not back then,' he continued. 'They weren't even a state.' Biden's remark was aimed at the 160-year-old law that was ruled active by the Arizona Supreme Court this week, which was introduced in 1843 when the state was still a U.S. territory. The Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling on Tuesday reverting the state back to a pre-statehood law that outlaws abortions in nearly all circumstances except when the mother's life is at risk.
The law makes it a felony for anyone who 'provides, supplies or administers to a pregnant woman, or procures such woman to take any medicine, drugs or substance, or uses or employs any instrument or other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of such woman, unless it is necessary to save her life,' potentially carrying a prison sentence between two and five years.
