Mitch McCann: US Correspondent on Arizona deciding to enforce a strict abortion law from 1864
Manage episode 411809545 series 2098280
The US state of Arizona is close to joining Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas in imposing a strict abortion ban.
Arizona's conservative Supreme Court has decided an abortion law —first introduced 160 years ago— is now enforceable.
US correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking that abortions are currently legal until 15 weeks of pregnancy.
But he says this 1864 law —created before Arizona was even a proper state— would make abortions illegal except if the mother's life is in danger.
McCann says it could be enforceable within two months, with Joe Biden calling the law cruel and extreme.
