In an election year where abortion will likely be a force at the ballot box, surely a purple state wouldn’t want to do anything rash?
Have you been to Arizona?
The Grand Canyon State may have stepped in it when its Supreme Court ruled to uphold one of the country’s strictest abortion bans, crafted in 1864.
Hear the March Madness Song for 2024.
The ban, recently affirmed by the state’s Republicans, outlaws all abortions, except those necessary to protect the mother’s life. Yes, if you’re a victim of incest or rape, and you’re in Phoenix, you will be forced to have that baby.

Alabama v. IVF: Hear “The Embryo Song.”
The archaic law, written in another century, if enforced, would send doctors to prision if they perform an abortion within statelines. Nah, that won’t have a chilling affect on women’s health care.
