Last month, the Arizona's Supreme Court ruled 4-2 that the law, which dates back to before Arizona gained statehood in 1912 and was codified in 1913, was legally enforceable after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

The decision meant that abortion was set to become illegal in the Grand Canyon State for any reason except when allegedly "necessary" to save the life of the mother. Direct abortion is always gravely immoral and never needed nor ethically justified to save a mother's life.
