.@Dougducey has officially signed #SB1457 into law. All the efforts & over 2,000 signatures collected had a great impact on how this legislation is pushed out & the fight is definitely not over.

We fought against this horrible bill for these reasons:

#AZLEG (1/6)
This bill criminalizes doctors who perform an abortion based on genetic abnormalities with a Class 3 FELONY.

This puts doctors who perform abortion-care in Arizona in an incredibly difficult position, as they could receive a felony for providing basic healthcare. (2/6) #AZLEG
The litigation efforts that will come due to this bill will be extremely costly & will take away from more important issues throughout our state like COVID-19 relief.

This is what the @AZSenateGOP would rather focus on than addressing real issues facing our state. #AZLEG (3/6)

We are here with the Reproductive Rights Coalition to deliver over 2,000 petition signatures asking Gov. Ducey to veto #SB1457 #AZLeg #handsoffaz
“This is a bill contrary to 76% of Arizona voters, who believe that personal medical decisions are between a patient and a doctor. This is our legislatures’ attempt to pander to extremists” -@CiviaTamarkin
“This is a bill that puts lives in danger and something that very few people pay attention to it is a violation of the first amendment establishment clause on freedom of religion because this bill attempts to enshrine one religious belief into law” -@CiviaTamarkin

Senate is now back in session and starting with a final vote on #SB1457, which will ban abortions sought solely because of a genetic abnormality. Bill also includes a personhood clause, stating that fetuses should be considered full humans with all associated rights.
Sen. @LelaAlstonAz, starting debate, says bans on abortions for specific reasons (race, sex, genetics) have always been about chipping away at abortion rights.
Sen. @RosannaGabaldon: "This bill is an attempt by anti-abortion groups to co-opt the mantle of disability rights." It's telling that disability rights groups don't support #SB1457.
