<p>Arizona House Republicans have once again rejected an attempt to fast-track a bill that would repeal a 160-year-old abortion ban that the state&#8217;s Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-supreme-court-upholds-1864-law-protecting-unborn-babies-from-abortion-in-nearly-all-cases" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allowed to go into effect</a>.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Republican leaders in the state House rejected a motion by Democrat Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, which called for a procedural vote on fast-tracking her bill that would repeal the 1864 abortion ban, but the GOP leaders allowed for a vote on if their move to block the vote was correct, AZ Central <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/legislature/2024/04/17/arizona-abortion-ban-lawmakers-poised-to-again-try-to-overturn-1864-law/73331740007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Republicans, who hold a one-seat majority in the Arizona House, lost one fellow party member on the vote, leading to a 30-30 split. The tie was broken by a vote from the chair against moving forward with the abortion ban repeal.</p>
<p>“The last thing we should be doing today is rushing a bill through the legislative process to repeal a law that has been enacted and affirmed by the legislature several times,” House Speaker Ben Toma said, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/politics/arizona-house-abortion-law-repeal/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.</p>
<p>Republicans&#8217; rejection of the fast-tracked repeal attempt marks the second time the House has stopped an effort to kill the law since the 1864 abortion ban was greenlit by the state&#8217;s Supreme Court last week. Last Wednesday, a motion by Republican state Rep. Matt Gress was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-republicans-shut-down-bid-to-quickly-repeal-abortion-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stopped</a> by a GOP motion to recess, sparking an outcry from Democrats.</p>
<p>After the House voted in favor of recess over moving forward with a repeal of the abortion law, some Democratic state lawmakers began shouting &#8220;Shame!&#8221; on the House floor.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨JUST IN—Democrats in the Arizona state house have hijacked the legislative session shouting &quot;SHAME&quot; and &quot;BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS&quot; at Republicans following yesterday&#39;s Arizona Supreme Court&#39;s ruling on abortion. <a href="https://t.co/0ztaRFhkOd">pic.twitter.com/0ztaRFhkOd</a></p>

<p>At least two Arizona Republican lawmakers — Reps. Matt Gress and David Cook — have indicated that they support a repeal of the abortion law, according to AZ Central. Gress voted with Democrats on Wednesday&#8217;s procedural vote, and Cook told CNN last week that &#8220;this territorial law needs to be repealed.&#8221; Cook, however, voted with Republicans on Wednesday to reject fast-tracking a repeal bill.</p>
<p>The Arizona Supreme Court&#8217;s decision has caused division among Republicans, many of whom are attempting to navigate the hot-button issue while they run a campaign. Arizona Republicans running in tight 2024 races, such as Senate candidate Kari Lake and Rep. David Schweikert, have released statements saying they oppose the 1864 abortion law.</p>
<p>Former President Donald Trump also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-on-arizona-governor-legislature-to-act-immediately-on-abortion-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> on Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs and the state legislature &#8220;to remedy what has happened” and “act as fast as possible,” adding that the Arizona Supreme Court &#8220;went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864.&#8221;</p>

<p>Pro-life groups such as LiveAction and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, however, celebrated the state high court&#8217;s decision and the law&#8217;s protection of unborn children.</p>
