Abortion in Arizona


Abortion in Arizona is legal until twenty weeks of gestation. As a territory, Arizona originally banned abortion in 1864, and that law has remained on the books ever since, although it became unenforceable after the decision in Roe v. Wade. The enforcement of the total ban was prevented by an injunction in the 1973 case Nelson v. Planned Parenthood, which based its decision solely on Roe. However, the 'Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision overturned Roe.' The lifting of the injunction is likely after Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced his intention to do so.
