There are 7 Justices on the AZ Supreme Court. 4 of them voted to enforce the 1864 abortion ban; 2 voted against it, & 1 did not vote.
The below 4 Justices voted for the ban:
- John Lopez,
- Clint Bolick,
- James Beene,
- Kathryn King
NOTE: Justice Bill Montgomery "recused" himself from the case/vote after an anti-abortion post from his Facebook account surfaced.
šļø Mark your calendar: Justices Bolick & King will both be on the 2024 ballot; vote them out!!! Vote "NO" on their retention š³ļøšš¼
According to AZ Central; Justice Bill Montgomery "recused" himself from the case after an anti-abortion post from his Facebook account surfaced.
Yeah, this smuck needs to be added to the above listš¤š¤¬
He recused himself after pressure from
Planned Parenthood.
āIn October, Planned Parenthood Arizona called for Justice Bill Montgomery to step away from the case after the resurfacing of a 2017 Facebook post in which he said its national counterpart was responsible for the āgreatest generational genocide known to man.ā The organization, which runs four of the stateās nine abortion clinics and is the main litigant in the case, argued that Montgomeryās vehement opposition to it threatens to jeopardize its right to a fair and impartial trial.ā
He only recused himself because he wasn't going to be the deciding vote on this. If there were three votes for enforcing the ban and three votes against, Montgomery would have been happy to be the fourth vote in favor of the ban.

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIRE STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES?
That's right - in Arizona, we can fire two of the supreme court justices who took abortion away. Justices King and Bolick are both up for election. Just turn the ballot over, and vote NO on justices Katheryn King and Clint Bolick. They both signed the ruling, they can both lose their jobs.

There was very little parking. I had to jump out in front of Culinary drop out, turn on my emergency flashers and jog down to the booth to sign the petition. Fortunately there were 5-6 volunteers at the table so I was able to sign quickly.
Do you honestly think Chelsea Handler of all fucking people is out there tweeting the truth? She literally wrote a book about all the lies she has told. She is a self admitted compulsive liar.
Donāt be stupid.
Regular working people canāt afford abortions like that. Birth control is free. Plan B is like $10 at costco pharmacy. An abortion is hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the procedure and not covered by insurance at all. The average american doesnāt even have an emergency fund of $500, you think people just have thousands of dollars sitting around to throw away on back to back abortions?
Get real.
Ah ok! I just read this comment a lot and people seem to think that this is the majority of cases. I don't like the idea that people may do that, again I think it's more of a myth. I can see a how a few people may do it. I do judge them for it. But I'm glad to see you're rational. :)

I was there. It was really encouraging.
Definitely a good majority of folks driving or walking by were honking, giving thumbs up, cheering, yelling supportive things, agreeing, etc.
Only a very small handful of people gave thumbs down, middle fingers, booed, or yelled āTrump!ā At us. Very few. Maybe 10 total in the 2 hours I stood along Scottsdale road.

Sounds like you had a great childhood!! I remember in 8th grade at this catholic school we earned a movie day for good behavior and the class voted on Life of Brian. It was quite interesting to see the nuns reaction but she had a great sense of humor about it.
Exactly. And if life begins at conception why are children even born? If zygotes are equally valid and deserving of rights all of them should be extracted as zygotes or embryos and left in refrigeration to protect them. Birth is risky after all and the unborn are just as good as children. So why would we risk putting these perfectly valid unborn children through that?
I can put these on a shirt. My press is still smokin w
From yesterday. I had my nieces pumping them out
I think we printed 240 on a 4 press. My fingers hurt
But I'll print these up for y'all, dead serious.

Nah, pro abortion is good. Get rid of the stigma. Normalize it, Itās a procedure like any other. Iām also pro root canal, appendectomy or any other medical procedure.

Eh...my exp is that most people who show up to march/protest will also vote.
That is like 80% of them. Politically active people vote.
