The southern American state is returning power back to unborn children.
The Supreme Court of Arizona ruled on Tuesday that an anti-abortion law from the 1800s can go into effect, virtually banning all abortions in the state.
The law allows for the criminal prosecution of doctors that perform abortions, unless the procedure is done to save the mother’s life.
The left-wing Democrat Party was quick to slam the ruling, with certain prosecutors in the state openly declaring they will not enforce the law, as was reported by the Associated Press.
While support for abortion remains high in Canada, about 50% of younger Canadians are against abortion, according to an Ipsos poll from 2022.
Conservative Party (CPC) leader Pierre Poilievre has yet to take a firm stance on the abortion issue, however, many of his MPs are anti-abortion.
MP Cathay Wagantall, representative for the Saskatchewan riding of Yorkton-Melville, has been outspoken about her disapproval of abortion.
A recent private members bill by Wagantall that sought to make violence against pregnant women an aggravating factor during court sentencing was shot down in Parliament last year, despite having the support of every Conservative MP, including Poilievre.
