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)

#SB1457 equates rights of fetuses and embryos with full personhood, taking away from the rights and freedoms of the person who is carrying the fetus in the first place.
Using this language harms the people who seek abortion care by limiting their bodily autonomy. #AZLEG (4/6)

Thank you to all of the organizations that have fought tirelessly against this bill.
Especially @ppazaction @ACLUaz @NARAL @NCJW & the entirety of the Arizona Reproductive Rights Coalition.
We look forward to the litigation that will follow today's signature.

Lets be clear:
#SB1457 is an attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The AZ GOP knows that this bill is disgusting, extreme, and wrong. They want to go to court and use it as an excuse to overturn Roe v. Wade.
For all of these reasons, the fight against #SB1457 is not over. (6/6)
