Arizona Legislature Tightens Rules in Born-Alive Abortions

March 31, 2017

(U.S. News & World Report) – The Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature on Wednesday approved a measure requiring doctors who perform abortions to try to revive fetuses if they show any sign of life and to have needed life-saving equipment on hand. The action is the latest in a yearslong string of anti-abortion measures pushed through the Legislature. It now heads to Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who has repeatedly said he will sign any abortion legislation that hits his desk.
