Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona Responds to House Vote on Total Abortion Ban Repeal

For Immediate Release: April 24, 2024

PHOENIX — In response to the Arizona House’s vote on HB 2677, a bill to repeal the state’s total abortion ban, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona Angela Florez issued the following statement: 

“Today, Arizona is one step closer to repealing the state’s Civil War-era total abortion ban. While the repeal still must pass the Senate, this is a major win for reproductive freedom. We must celebrate today’s vote in support of abortion rights and harness our enthusiasm to spread the word and urge lawmakers in the Senate to support this necessary repeal bill. 

Despite this step forward, Arizonans cannot stop fighting. Even with the repeal of the Civil War-era ban, the state will still have a ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy that denies people access to critical care. And lawmakers continue to attack Arizonans’ ability to access reproductive health care. Our right to control our bodies and lives is hanging on by a thread. 

Thankfully, voters will have the opportunity to take back control if the Arizona Abortion Access Act is on the ballot this November. Abortion bans are out-of-step with the will of Arizonans and will force pregnant people to leave their communities for essential health care. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona will continue fighting to ensure everyone has the right to make decisions about their health and futures.”
