Arizona lawmakers on Wednesday repealed the permanent reintroduction of a 160-year-old abortion ban in the US state. In April, the state supreme court allowed the controversial 1864 law to be reinstated. The statute bans nearly all abortions, including those sought by survivors of rape or incest. Exceptions only apply if the life of the woman concerned is at risk. The law also imposes prison terms for doctors and others who aid in abortions. The Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs, must still sign the repeal of the 1864 into law, but this is considered a formality. The 1864 law had been blocked b...

Jacksonville (AFP) - US Vice President Kamala Harris sought to make Donald Trump the face of Florida's strict new abortion ban Wednesday as Democrats hammer the issue ahead of November's presidential election. "Across our nation, we witness a full-on assault, state by state, on reproductive freedom. And understand who's to blame: former president Donald Trump did this," Harris said in a Jacksonville, Florida speech. Florida's harsh new ban took effect Wednesday, outlawing all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in a state that had been one of the last in the southern United States with a re...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Legislators in Arizona's upper house voted Wednesday to repeal an 1864 law banning abortion, a month after the state's supreme court said the Civil War-era rule was valid. The turnaround was the latest development in the fraught US abortion debate, which is expected to play a huge role in this year's presidential election, a likely rematch between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. "I'm glad to see the Senate answered my call and voted to repeal the 1864 total abortion ban," the state's Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs wrote on social media. "While this is essential to pr...

By Danny KEMP Washington (AFP) - "C'est Trump qui a fait ça": bien décidée à exploiter à fond cet angle d'attaque politique contre l'ancien président républicain, la vice-présidente américaine Kamala Harris est allée mercredi faire campagne en Floride, où l'avortement est désormais interdit au-delà de six semaines. "Nous avons vécu une attaque en règle, Etat après Etat, contre les libertés reproductives et nous savons qui en est responsable.

Monica Kelly was thrilled to learn she was expecting her second child. The Tennessee mother was around 13 weeks pregnant when, according to a lawsuit filed against the state of Tennessee, doctors gave her the devastating news that her baby had Patau syndrome. The genetic disorder causes serious developmental defects and often results in miscarriage, stillbirth, or death within one year of birth. Continuing her pregnancy, doctors told her, could put her at risk of infection and complications that include high blood pressure, organ failure, and death. But they said they could not perform an abor...

Phoenix (AFP) - Piper decided she needed an abortion almost as soon as Arizona judges ruled an 1864 law banning the procedure could be enforced. Having only just found out she was pregnant, what she had really wanted was time to think, but that was a luxury she felt she could not afford. "The laws in Arizona are really dicey right now, so I wasn't sure what would be available to me," said Piper, who wanted to use a pseudonym to discuss her choice about one of the most divisive issues in America. Piper, 30, fell pregnant unexpectedly -- her partner told her he had undergone a vasectomy, but he ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court appeared divided Wednesday on whether Idaho's near-total ban on abortion conflicts with a federal law requiring hospitals to stabilize patients needing emergency care, in a case that carries potentially sweeping national consequences.

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court was set to hear a crucial case Wednesday weighing whether Idaho's near-total ban on abortion violates federal law requiring hospitals to stabilize patients needing emergency care.

The ruling in the Idaho case could have sweeping consequences for hospitals across the country. Dozens of women's rights activists gathered in front ...

Italy’s Senate has passed legislation which allows regions to permit groups “with a qualified experience supporting motherhood” to have access to women considering abortions at public clinics. For the right-wing government, the amendment fulfils the original intent of the 1978 law legalising abortion, known as Law 194, which includes provisions to prevent the procedure and support motherhood. But some in the medical profession have questioned the wisdom of allowing medically unqualified, anti-abortion groups access to women considering the procedure. “Then you don't understand how you want to ...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden's administration announced a new rule Monday to protect the privacy of women who go out of their home state to have legal abortions, amid fears they could be prosecuted upon their return. The move comes as reproductive rights take center stage in the November presidential election, following a pivotal court decision that abolished or severely curtailed legal abortion in 21 states. "No one should have to live in fear that their conversations with their doctor or that their medical claims data might be used to target or track them," Melanie Fontes Rainer of...
