#BREAKING: A federal district court in #Arizona has blocked a “personhood” law — one that would grant rights to fetuses, embryos, and fertilized eggs — from being used to criminalize abortion services. After #SCOTUS overturned #RoevWade, abortion providers in Arizona stopped services, unsure whether the "personhood" law would allow state officials to inflict a total abortion ban on Arizonans. In 2021, the Center and its partners filed a lawsuit to challenge a harmful abortion ban that put providers and pregnant people at risk of being prosecuted. #BansOffOurBodies #AbortionIsEssential “The court made the right decision today by blocking this law from being used to create an unthinkably extreme abortion ban," said Center Senior Staff Attorney Jessica Sklarsky. “The Supreme Court’s catastrophic decision overturning Roe v. Wade has unleashed chaos on the ground, leaving Arizona residents scrambling to figure out if they can get the abortion care they need." "People should not have to live in a state of fear when accessing or providing essential healthcare. We will continue our fight to preserve abortion access in Arizona and across the country.” Tap the link in our bio to learn more.
