The solution is to pass better laws and not rely on the court. The Arizona legislature can and should fix the law. In the meantime, Arizona residents are already gearing up to pass a constitutional amendment to grant abortion freedom.

The Arizona legislators should remove/kill the old 1864 law so it can never be used again.

You cannot entirely separate the legislature and the judiciary. Whether state or federal the courts decide whether the laws passed by the legislature are constitutional.

That is great. However, the Arizona legislators must be voted out of office in November.

It is my considered opinion that the matter of abortion should have never been made into a political medicine ball. What is happening today is topsy-turvy. And where it is today is where it will be fifty years from now. In the public sphere, we toss into the dust bin matters we don't like or that we determine to be too difficult to handle. And, they stay there. The bin isn't emptied and its contents smell to high-heaven. The movement of becoming a mostly secular society pushes aside the moral consequences of public law. Most of you will read as so much blather what I say next: "Take God, the Creator of life, out of the equation and we get what we are getting." A 'satisfactory' answer will never be found in the hallowed halls of the SCOTUS, the U. S. Congress, in State legislatures. Of course, all of this is my considered opinion!

The moral consequences of public law dont depend on God.
