Arizona Supreme Court reinstates near-total abortion ban from 1864 | BBC News


The Arizona Supreme court has ruled that the state can enforce a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban.

The 1864 law makes abortion punishable by two to five years in prison, except when the mother’s life is at risk.

The law precedes Arizona becoming a state.

Arizona voters may be able to undo the ruling in a November referendum.
