Arizona AG Says She Will Not Enforce State’s Abortion Laws

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said she would not enforce the state’s abortion laws.

In a recent interview with Capitol Media Services, the Democrat said she would not prosecute doctors for violating any of the state’s abortion laws, including the 15-week abortion ban. 

“I have been clear that we are not going to prosecute doctors and women in the state of Arizona for abortion, period,” Mayes said. “[Abortion] is not a place for government intervention … prosecutorial resources should not be spent on trying to put doctors in jail.’’
