Since a judge found that a 1864 pre-statehood law prohibiting the activity is now the state's law, all abortions in Arizona have been effectively outlawed. The ban was triggered in part by the Supreme Court's decision to reverse Roe v Wade's ruling in June. It will go into place as of September 24. Judge Kellie Johnson of Pima County Superior Court made the decision more than a month after she heard arguments over Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich's request to lift the injunction. Johnson wrote in the decision: "The court finds that because the legal basis for the 1973 decision has now been overruled, the court must vacate the decision in its entirety.'
