The Arizona Supreme Court has decided the law is still relevant. So let’s talk about the guy who led the body that passed it.
An organizer carries a clipboard with petitions for a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion rights in the Arizona constitution after the state's Supreme Court revived a law dating to 1864 that bans abortion in virtually all instances.
His next wife was a girl whose name was believed to be Maria v. del Refugio, writes L. Boyd Finch, the author of the journal article. New Mexico’s delegate to Washington, Miguel Otero, was bothered by the union. He “declared that the bride was twelve years old,” Finch writes, “and that Jones had ‘abducted’ her.” Otero petitioned President James Buchanan to fire Jones for the moral failing, but Jones resigned instead.
He had boarded a train for California, and then a boat for Hawaii, where he again entered local politics, winning a seat in the kingdom’s lower house. By 1868, a local girl named MaeMae Kailihao — “reportedly a princess from a noble family” — was pregnant with his child. She was 14.
