"And as much harm as he has already caused, a second Trump term would be even worse. If Donald Trump gets the chance, he will sign a national abortion ban. How do we know? Look at his record. Congress tried to pass a national abortion ban before, in 2017, and then-President Trump endorsed it."
The Arizona Supreme Court delivered a 4-2 ruling Tuesday that said the 1864 law — passed when Arizona was a territory and codified in 1913 when it became a state — is "now enforceable" after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) has urged state lawmakers to swiftly repeal the law and the state's Democratic attorney general has said she will not enforce any abortion bans.
Harris' prepared remarks reflect the Democratic Party's 2024 strategy of going all-out on abortion following the end of Roe.
