Arizona Lawmakers Expected to Make Bipartisan Push to Repeal Abortion Ban
PHOENIX-Amid mounting pressure to change the narrative on abortion, several state GOP lawmakers could join with Democrats on Wednesday in an effort to repeal Arizona's 160-year-old near-total ban. If they are successful, the Democratic governor has said she would sign the rollback.
"I'm a little bit cautiously optimistic that barring extreme shifts we're going to be able to get this done," said Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, the sponsor of the repeal legislation. Stahl Hamilton said she has been in touch with Rep. Matt Gress, a Republican, about gathering support on his side. Gress declined to comment but last week led an unsuccessful effort to repeal the ban.
