A federal judge on July 11 temporarily blocked Arizona’s “personhood” law, which recognizes that human life begins at conception, preventing it from being used to take legal action against abortion providers.

The legal drama comes as states across the nation, including Arizona, are trying to adjust in light of the Supreme Court’s June 24 decision that there’s no right to an abortion to be found in the U.S. Constitution, sending the regulation of abortion back to the states.
