Wade<\/em> decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Court finds that because the legal basis for the judgment entered in 1973 has now been overruled, it must vacate the judgment in its entirety,\u201d Johnson wrote in her ruling.<\/p>\n<p>The law, enacted nearly half a century before Arizona became part of the Union in 1912,\u00a0threatens abortion providers with two to five years in prison. The law bans all abortions except when necessary to save the mother\u2019s life, with\u00a0no exceptions for rape or incest.<\/p>\n<p>The judge\u2019s ruling came a day before another more recent abortion ban,\u00a0Arizona\u2019s\u00a015-week abortion ban <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/arizona-governor-signs-15-week-abortion-ban-into-law-2022-03-30\/\">passed<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year, was slated to take effect.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood Arizona was a plaintiff in the case and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2022\/09\/24\/arizona-abortion-law-judge-johnson-brnovich\/\">called<\/a> the 1864 law \u201carchaic\u201d and said it would take \u201cArizonans back nearly 150 years.\u201d The Planned Parenthood affiliate added that it \u201cwill never back down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court\u2019s decision has allowed conflicting laws to take effect and has caused immediate confusion, even among our state\u2019s highest elected officials, as to the status of abortion access in Arizona,\u201d said\u00a0Brittany Fonteno, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis confusion has forced Planned Parenthood Arizona to pause abortion services and cancel appointments scheduled this week \u2013 meaning that members of our community once again have been and will continue to be denied medical care that they deserve and need while this decision is in effect. This is unacceptable,\u201d Fonteno said.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood Arizona\u2019s court filing requests that the court issue a stay of its ruling while the legal process continues to unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona\u2019s governor and attorney general, both Republicans, have offered inconsistent opinions on which law they believe has taken effect.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) has said the 1864 law is now fully enforceable.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,\u00a0Gov. Doug Ducey has said he believes the more recent and less stringent 15-week ban takes precedence over the older law and is in effect now.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/generalbrnovich\/status\/1573443589509910528\">tweet<\/a> Saturday, the attorney general applauded the ruling and said the court provided \u201cclarity\u201d on the legality of abortion in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe applaud the court for upholding the will of the legislature and providing clarity and uniformity on this important issue. I have and will continue to protect the most vulnerable Arizonans,\u201d Brnovich wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee running for Arizona governor, said she was \u201cmourning\u201d the Friday ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m mourning today\u2019s decision,\u201d Hobbs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/politico-pulse\/2022\/09\/26\/gop-abortion-lets-change-the-subject-00058729\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cWe now must turn our anger into motivation to win in November and restore our fundamental rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arizona abortion clinics have performed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azdhs.gov\/documents\/preparedness\/public-health-statistics\/abortions\/2020-arizona-abortion-report.pdf\">more than<\/a> 13,000 abortions a year in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood of Arizona asked a judge Monday to immediately block the state\u2019s 1864 abortion ban from going into effect.
