Planned Parenthood and other advocates for abortion access filed a lawsuit on Dec. 3 challenging Arizona’s abortion restrictions, with plaintiffs arguing that these regulations violate the state’s constitution.
In 2022, the Arizona Legislature passed SB 1164, which criminalized abortions after 15 weeks, with the law coming into effect in September of that year. In the recent Nov. 5 election, Arizona voters approved an amendment that would grant a constitutional right to abortion up to fetal viability.
