Phoenix – Defenders of reproduction rights continued Arizona on Thursday to unravel several laws regulating abortion in the state.
The trial was filed by two state service providers and Arizona Medical Association. It comes more than six months after the voters consecrated in the Constitution of the State Access to abortions until fetal viability, which is the point to which a fetus can survive outside the uterus.
Defenders seek to cancel the laws, including those that prohibit abortions, based on genetic anomalies, require informed consent in person at least 24 hours before procedure and offer the possibility of seeing ultrasound and prohibiting abortion drugs provided by mail and the use of TV-health for abortion care.
“These restrictions on stigmatizing and medically useless abortion violates the right to reproductive freedom established by the voters of Arizona last November, and it is time for them to leave,” said Rebecca Chan, lawyer for the personnel of the reproductive aclu Freedom Project, in a press release. “Arizonans are perfectly capable of making decisions about their own reproductive future.”
The Office of the State Prosecutor General examines the complaint and a spokesperson for the agency noted that the law of the State should comply with the modification approved by the voters last November. Arizona was one of the rare states that adopted voting measures in the general elections of 2024 devoting the right to abortion to their state constitutions.
Earlier this year, an Arizona judge blocked the 15 -week state abortion ban.
Peter Gentala, president of Center for Arizona Policy, a socially conservative non -profit organization, said that it was too early to determine whether the organization would intervene in the trial.
“Women's health is important and this trial reflects a program to maximize abortion in Arizona and this has a cost for the health of women,” he said.
