PHOENIX (AP) — House lawmakers on Monday are slated to debate a proposed ban on public dollars for abortion providers that could significantly limit health care access for Arizonans and would go much further than an existing federal mandate against abortion funding.
The measure seeks to revive a yearslong anti-abortion debate in the GOP-led state Legislature and could further complicate Gov. Jan Brewer’s stalled plan to expand Medicaid access to an additional 300,000 Arizonans under the upcoming state budget.
