Arizona Governor Rejects Calls to Rescind Order Limiting Abortion Prosecutions
- Twelve county attorneys in Arizona are calling for Governor Katie Hobbs to rescind her executive order that limits them from prosecuting abortion-related cases.
- Governor Hobbs will not rescind the order and will continue fighting for reproductive rights in Arizona.
- The order gives the state Attorney General power over county abortion prosecutions and bans assisting other states' investigations.
- The order was criticized as overreach by Republicans but supported by Democrats like Hobbs and the Attorney General.
- The governor's office stated they will not rescind the order despite requests from county prosecutors and Republican legislators.
