Arizona's Historic Abortion Ban and Democratic Attorney General's Stance
The chapter covers Arizona's nearly total abortion ban from 1864, devoid of exceptions for rape or incest, with a humorous exploration of its severity and the state's perspective on sex. It highlights Democratic Attorney General Chris May's firm refusal to enforce the draconian law to protect women and doctors amid tight election margins and the contrasting views of Magacenic candidate Carrie Lake. The discussion also lightly touches on spittoon laws, Charles Dickens's observations, and an encounter at the Phoenix airport.
