Hobbs said the state legislature should repeal the law, saying it &ldquo;creates a government registry of pregnancies and requires government surveillance of pregnant women.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This report is an attack on our freedom, is unacceptable, and must be brought to an end,&rdquo; Hobbs said in a prepared statement Wednesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The government has no place in surveilling Arizonans&rsquo; medical decision-making or tracking their health history,&rdquo; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The abortion rate in Arizona is the second lowest in a decade, according to the state health report, which is the report Hobbs says should be cut. In the last 10 years, the abortion rate has experienced an overall decline, all while Arizona&rsquo;s population has rapidly <a href=\"https:\/\/usafacts.org\/data\/topics\/people-society\/population-and-demographics\/our-changing-population\/state\/arizona\/#:~:text=In%20Arizona%20between%202010%20and,Hide%20Hispanic%20ethnicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">increased<\/a>. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">state health department&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s annual report, 12,705 abortions were performed in Arizona last year, which is slightly under the 10-year average. <\/p>\n<p>While passage of a repeal via legislation is unlikely as Republicans control both chambers of the Arizona statehouse, Hobbs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-abbott-signs-bill-banning-abortions-if-roe-v-wade-is-overturned\/\" title=\"Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Banning Abortions If Roe V.
