A single man, William T. Howell, wrote the 1864 law that the AZ Supreme Court has revived to ban nearly all abortions in the state.

Women didn’t have the right to vote back then, and none had any say in the territory’s laws. But they can vote now. And they will have a big say.

Serious Q about AZ law: there was, surely, some sort of Congressional “organic act” to allow AZ (& other terrs?) to become states. Did that act require all territorial laws to continue into statehood? Did the new AZ state gov have to pass them all again? How did that work?

This is insane!

They absolutely intend to bring in a national abortion ban.

@rbreich For all the people so sure "women will speak" on the abortion issue, I have five words for you: Marjorie Taylor Greene Lauren Boebert.

"Women" is not a monolithic, heterogeneous group.
