Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) announced she is looking to repeal a state law requiring an annual report with detailed information on every abortion performed in the state.
A 2010 Arizona law requires the state’s Department of Health Services to create an annual report on abortion statistics, including demographic data on women who get abortions in Arizona. Hobbs said the state legislature should repeal the law, saying it “creates a government registry of pregnancies and requires government surveillance of pregnant women.”
