- The status of Abortion in Arizona is unclear; it may either be illegal, or illegal after 15 weeks. As a territory, Arizona originally banned abortion in 1864, and although it became unenforceable after the decision in Roe v. Wade, the law has remained on the books ever since. The enforcement of the total ban was prevented by an injunction in the 1973 case Nelson v. Planned Parenthood, which based its decision solely on Roe. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision overturned Roe. The injunction, which was lifted on September 23, 2022, by a superior court judge in Pima County, was temporarily reinstated by the Arizona Court of Appeals on October 7, 2022. In a 2014 poll by Pew Research Center, 49% of Arizona adults said that abortion should be legal in all or most cases with 47% saying it should be illegal in all or most cases. In a 2022 poll of 938 registered Arizona voters by OH Predictive Insights, 87% said they wanted abortion to remain legal in all or some cases. By 1950, abortion was a criminal offense in Arizona. In April 2012, abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy became illegal in Arizona; however, its enforcement was permanently blocked under an injunction. Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) existed by 2013. The total number of abortion clinics in Arizona have been declining for years, going from thirty-seven in 1982 to twenty-eight in 1992 to nine in 2014. In 2014, there were 12,914 abortions in the state. The next year, there were 12,644 abortions. In 2010, there were fourteen publicly funded abortions in the state. Abortion and religion have intersected in the state, particularly in the case of Sr. , R.S.M., a Sister of Mercy. The state has an active abortion rights community, with women participating in #StoptheBans movement in May 2019. (en)
