Lawmakers vote against hearing Arizona bill repealing abortion ban on House floor
Source: CNN
The Republican-controlled Arizona House of Representatives once again failed to advance a repeal of the states 160-year-old abortion ban Wednesday, days after the state Supreme Court roiled state politics by reviving the law.
The vote is a blow to reproductive rights as well as GOP candidates in competitive races, who have been scrambling to distance themselves from the courts decision. Republicans facing competitive races in the state, including former President Donald Trump and US Senate candidate Kari Lake, called on the GOP-controlled legislature to work with Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs to take a more moderate path.
On Wednesday, following two attempts to discuss a bill that would repeal Arizonas 1864 ban on abortions, lawmakers voted not to discuss the measure on the House floor.
The representatives votes were evenly split, with the chair making the tie-breaking decision. The bill itself was not brought up for a vote.
