Abortion Restrictions Take Effect in Arizona after Judge’s Ruling
posted on April 2, 2014Michael Muskal of The Los Angeles Times reports, “Restrictions on some types of abortions in Arizona went into effect Tuesday morning after a federal judge upheld state changes limiting a woman’s access to an abortion-inducing drug.” Arizona has been one of the most aggressive states in advancing anti-abortion legislation, following states such as Indiana, Iowa, and North Carolina. The Center for Reproductive Rights, who plans to appeal the ruling, said, “Arizona women should not be denied their constitutional rights or their ability to get critical health care from the medical professionals they trust.”
