Following MAGA Arizona Republicans blocking a repeal of Donald Trump\u2019s extreme 1864 abortion ban, DNC spokesperson Cameron Niven released the following statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDonald Trump is the reason the lives of over a million women in Arizona are in turmoil, and MAGA Republicans in Arizona are making sure that Trump\u2019s 160-year-old abortion ban stays in place. Again and again, Trump and the GOP are proving that the only candidates who will actually fight to safeguard women\u2019s right to make their own health care decisions are President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Arizona MAGA Republicans again blocked a repeal of Trump\u2019s cruel 160-year-old abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or health. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cFor the second time in two weeks, Arizona Republican lawmakers rejected an attempt to repeal a near-total ban on abortion from 1864 that was upheld by the battleground state\u2019s Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cArizona House Republicans again on Wednesday blocked an attempt to repeal the 1864 ban on nearly all abortions that was reinstated last week by the state Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump and MAGA Republicans have already endorsed Arizona\u2019s cruel 160-year-old abortion ban, and they have records to prove it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cGOP suffers desert meltdown on abortion\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA day after former President Trump thought he’d tamped down the GOP’s exposure on abortion, it popped back up in the key 2024 battleground of Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy it matters: Trump ushered in the end of Roe vs. Wade and its national protection of abortion rights, and now his party is suffering a massive voter backlash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbortion rights have yet to lose since the end of Roe when the decision has been up to voters instead of legislators or courts. The big picture: Despite the backlash, state-level Republicans have responded to the end of Roe by pushing extremely strict restrictions on abortion, including many that effectively outlaw the practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Arizona Supreme Court, controlled by GOP-appointed justices, upheld today a 1864 law that allowed abortion only to save the life of the mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBetween the lines: The state court ruling creates a stark contrast in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRepublicans have ushered in a near-total ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats are pushing a state constitutional amendment for the ballot to protect abortion rights up to 24 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump is still demanding credit for overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em> and paving the way for extreme abortion bans across the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe broke Roe v. Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible. We gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly \u2026 But they\u2019re working, and it\u2019s working the way it\u2019s supposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI was proudly the person responsible for the ending of \u2026 Roe v. Wade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cGetting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life something to negotiate with. Pro-life had absolutely nothing, being stuck in Roe v. Wade, to negotiate with. \u2026 And look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade. … For fifty years, this has been going on. I was able to do it, and I was very honored to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAfter 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the \u2018shock\u2019 of everyone \u2026 Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to. Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI’m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade, and everybody said that was an impossible thing to do. I put on three Supreme Court justices. Very few people have had that privilege or honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Claims Credit for All Abortion Bans\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cTrump boasts he’s ‘proud’ about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, the issue that has become ballot-box poison for Republicans\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Says He\u2019s \u2018Proud\u2019 to Have \u2018Terminated\u2019 Abortion Rights\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump campaign radio ad<\/a>: “And Trump nominated conservative judges, leading to Roe v. Wade being overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FWIW<\/a>: \u201cThis week, we found more evidence that the Trump campaign has no interest in \u2018moderating\u2019 on the issue of abortion. On Monday, his team began running new Facebook video ads targeting voters in Iowa, referring to Trump as \u2018THE MOST Pro-Life President in history.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump has said loud and clear that he\u2019d try to ban abortion nationwide if elected to a second term, while he and his MAGA allies plan to rip away reproductive freedoms with or without Congress\u2019 support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Floats National Abortion Ban After Claiming He\u2019s \u2018On the Side of Women\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump also backed a national abortion ban during his first term and said that women should be punished for receiving abortion care.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration formally backed a House bill Monday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks \u2026 It would make it a crime to perform or attempt an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with the possibility of a fine, up to five years in prison or both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere has to be some form of punishment [for women who have an abortion].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
