Arizona: Tossup --> Lean DEM

[CityofSinners]

This ruling makes sure that the 2024 ballot measure legalizing abortion will easily pass. Rather pyrrhic victory for the pro-life side.

Yes, Arizona has to follow the laws that are on their books.

Nothing in the 15-week ban suggests it’s dependent on Roe’s enforceability however. That’s more or less what this case hinges on, and I’m surprised four justices reached that conclusion: a fairly specious and politically disastrous one… most of the AZ politicos were surprised by this decision. Vice CJ Timmer’s dissent is solid.

Thank God Amadeh lost. Could you imagine if those 281 voters didn't show up on Election Day?

My understanding is that when two laws appear to conflict with each other, judges are taught to defer to the older law, because the legislature that passed the newer law could have explicitly repealed the older one, but chose not to?

Kari Lake opposes pro-life laws in Arizona.  She's parroting the anti-life talking points that Trump gave permission to believe.

Look, you can be as pro-life as you want to be, but this law isn't likely to go over in a swing state.  There is such a thing as pushing so hard, so fast on this that the median state position ends up more pro-choice than Roe.

I think the AZ Supreme Court just handed the state legislature to Democrats.

Extreme Republican is behaving exactly how you'd expect someone to behave who actually does think that fetuses and embryos are morally equivalent to born humans.

The fact that more GOP types don't share his reaction says that most of them don't really believe that in their heart of hearts.

You can believe it has enough moral worth that abortion should be legally discouraged under most circumstances (ideally used only in self-defense) without believing has exactly the same value as a born child.  For example, we rightfully have laws against animal abuse.
