Description: The Arizona House passed a bill to repeal the state's 1864 near-total abortion ban by a 32-28 vote on Wednesday. Republicans attempted to block the repeal, but three GOP members and all 29 Democrats succeeded in passing the bill. The bill now moves to the Arizona Senate, which is expected to take it up on April 26th. Republicans delivered emotional speeches calling abortion murder, while Democrats supported women's rights. Attention now turns to the Senate vote and a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
