Anti-abortion politicians have spent years paving the way for a total ban on abortion services. Now, they’re pivoting away from this wildly unpopular policy.

The Arizona Supreme Court Tuesday announced the reinstatement of an 1864 law that criminalizes abortion care of any kind, except to save the life of the mother.

Groups like the Heritage Foundation are trying to take a “back-door” approach to restricting access to IVF by pushing for strict regulations that chip away at the ability of providers and patients to complete treatment.

The former president has suggested he might support a 15-week nationwide abortion ban, cozied up to members of the anti-IVF movement, and is aligned with groups who want to further restrict reproductive freedom.

Tuesday’s hearing marks the first time the right-wing Court has listened to a case relating to abortion access since their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
