And so it begins. This may be the most important hearing for abortion rights in Arizona's history.
Tune in here: publichearings.sc.pima.gov (room 475)
The first issues are largely procedural. Because of the age of this case (first filed in 1971), many of the original parties are deceased (passed beyond the jurisdiction of the court) and many of the doctors are no longer in practice.

Tuned in now.
The Court has asked what abortion laws are in force in Arizona in the moment. The answer is beyond confusing.
The County Attorney or District Attorney election just became the most important race on your ballot in 2022.
Here's why 🧵
The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in the face of decades of legal precedent and roll back the rights of millions in America.

The Arizona District Court is hearing oral arguments on SB1457 RIGHT NOW. Follow @ncjwarizona and this thread to hear how it's going.
Kicking off and it's a hot bench (that means that the judge has a lot of questions).
Of note at the outset, the judge has adopted the language of the Plaintiffs that this is a "Reason Ban" and not a "Non-discrimination Provision" as the Attorney General argues.

I was a student at the University of Notre Dame Law School while Amy Coney Barrett was a professor.
While she had a reputation for collegiality and excellence in the classroom, the biggest lesson she taught me was that a person could be kind and civil while embracing an ideology that regards some individuals worthy of fewer rights and less freedom.

Unfortunately for our community, this is little more than a political stunt that contradicts my opponent’s previous stances during her appointed tenure and comes just over 40 days away from the general election. THREAD 👇 azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
When she was appointed on October 3, 2019, she was silent on this issue.

The passing of RBG last Friday raised the stakes of this election. The rights that we hold dear — voting, marrying who we love, and bodily autonomy are all under siege.
Let’s talk about reproductive rights. 👇
Arizona still has laws that ban abortion and all forms of birth control. The maximum sentence for making decisions about your own personal healthcare — 5 years in prison.

Let’s talk about the Brady list system in law enforcement.
THREAD 👇 abc15.com/news/local-new…
Prosecutors have a constitutional requirement to inform defendants of problematic behavior by law enforcement officers. It brings a level of transparency to our criminal justice system rather than enabling bad actors.

Earlier this morning, my campaign was on the receiving end of a vitriolic attack from the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association (PLEA).
This is the same group that stated in their endorsement of my opponent, “We envision a relationship with Ms. Adel every bit as excellent as that we have enjoyed with her predecessor, Bill Montogomery.”

Creating a conviction integrity unit has been part of our campaign platform since day one. I hope that wrongfully convicted Arizonans will be treated more fairly than Christine Blasey Ford. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Rachel Mitchell's appointment goes against every basic tenet of victim advocacy. She has demonstrated that she is willing to put aside every shred of integrity in pursuit of a political promotion.

Voters often ask why they should support my campaign for County Attorney. I tell them I’ve practiced law over 13 years, I’m the only Democratic candidate with prosecutorial experience, and I have the most comprehensive platform on #cjreform.
But let’s talk about support 👇
Because if there is one thing -- support doesn’t lie.

ICYMI: Our unelected @marcoattorney has decided to use public funds to promote her campaign during election season. This is behavior unfit for any public official - especially the head prosecutor for over 4.2 million people. azmirror.com/2020/06/09/ade…
Being chief prosecutor of the Phoenix metro area means you must be beyond reproach. That includes removing conflicts of interest, utilizing taxpayer money precisely, and not using public office for your own personal gain.

Our current @marcoattorney believes that race doesn’t play a role in charging. But she is wrong… again.
Implicit bias and other factors mean that Black and brown folks face longer sentences.
I’m committed to bringing transparency and accountability to the County Attorney’s Office.
This means using data to ensure that we are treating all members of our community fairly in our justice system. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Nothing drives criminal justice reform more in the state of Arizona than the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. This is arguably the most important election on the ballot in 2020 because of the wide-ranging impact it has on the day to day life of Arizonans.

I’m not going to share the video. What happened to George Floyd was horrifying and unacceptable.
If we want to end the epidemic of police violence against people of color, it’s not enough to tweet. We need leaders committed to anti-racism efforts in criminal justice. A thread:
This is why I’m committed to creating an independent and community involved unit to handle police use of force cases. Asking prosecutors to investigate the same officers they rely on in other cases is an undeniable conflict of interest.
