The Arizona House of Representatives approved a bill on April 24 to remove the state’s strict abortion prohibition. The vote comes two weeks after a judge ruled that the state could enforce the 1864 legislation, which contains an exemption only for cases in which the mother’s life is in danger.

On the day of the vote, three Republicans joined all 29 Democrats in repealing that legislation, which does not include any exceptions for rape or incest and was passed before Arizona became a state.
