Arizona Supreme Court Upholds 1864 Abortion Ban, Sparking Political Turmoil

The ruling has intensified the abortion debate in Arizona, putting Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake in a challenging position as she navigates electoral backlash.

• Arizona's Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law banning almost all abortions, except to save the mother's life, causing widespread political and social repercussions.
• Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake, previously a supporter of the ban, now opposes the ruling and calls for a 'commonsense solution' amidst electoral pressures.
• The decision has prompted a significant backlash from both sides of the political spectrum, with other Republicans also distancing themselves from the ruling.
• Historical context of the 1864 law, originally written during the Civil War era, highlights its outdated and controversial nature in today's society.
• The ruling is likely to become a central issue in the upcoming elections, influencing voter turnout and campaign strategies.
