Katie Hobbs Signs Executive Order Restricting Arizona Abortion Prosecutions, Banning Investigation and Extradition of Doctors Wanted in Other States – Establishes a Council to Expand Access to Abortion

The Gateway Pundit reported in September 2022 that a Judge ruled that Arizona can enforce its ban on abortion following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v.
