If Roe is overturned, abortion will be illegal in Arizona. Arizona’s abortion law from 1901, ARS 13-3063, “provides for a minimum two years in prison, and a maximum of five years, for anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion by drugs or ‘other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of such woman, unless it is necessary to save her life.’” [Arizona Central, 12/1/21]
• Governor Doug Ducey has also signed a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks with no exceptions, mirroring Mississippi’s ban. This law does not overrule the 1901 law, which will ban abortion outright if the Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade. [Associated Press, 3/25/22]
