Arizona‘s Civil War-era abortion ban is no longer expected to take effect in the state after looming questions about when the ban would be enacted. 

Earlier this year, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 near-total abortion ban was enforceable, creating chaos among lawmakers and residents. The state’s legislature voted to repeal the ban after a few failed attempts, and the bill was signed by Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) and reverted the state to a 2022 15-week ban.
