Arizona’s politicians reacted swiftly and as predicted on Friday in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Roe v Wade was a poorly-reasoned ruling that had no Constitutional basis. The Supreme Court has made the right decision by finally overturning it and giving governing power back to the people and the states. 1/

A woman’s health care decisions should be between her, her family, and her doctor. Today's decision overturning Roe v. Wade endangers the health and wellbeing of women in Arizona and across America. 1/2

Today is a historic moment for the millions of Americans who believe in the sanctity of life.
After decades of tireless advocacy, the U.S. Supreme Court has stood up in defense of the Constitution & acknowledged the important role of the states in protecting our most vulnerable. pic.twitter.com/UlZk3h4FuE

Due to trigger laws and decades-old legislation, this decision to remove Roe could immediately mean the end of access to abortion in AZ. We're in a moment of uncertainty, and this fight is ALSO going to the courts to see which anti-abortion laws take precedent. THIS HORRIBLE!

I said it on the floor last year & I’ll say it again: Roe v Wade was a horribly reasoned decision & abortion has never been a Constitution right! It’s about time!! https://t.co/Xq07NhnN68

Today’s monumental Supreme Court decision is such a victory for the unborn and states rights. Thank you to the 6 brave Justices for standing up for life and ending the falsehood that barbarous
abortions that have killed millions of children was ever constitutional.— Walt Blackman for Congress (@BlackmanForAZ) June 24, 2022
I will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

We’re just getting started.
Welcome to the New Right.
Welcome to America First.— Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS (@RepGosar) June 24, 2022
Knowing that this day was coming doesn’t dull the pain. Without Roe’s protection for the right to choose, governors are now the final line of defense to protect access to safe and legal abortion. It’s never been more urgent to go vote for pro-choice champions at the state level. https://t.co/KVcb7tTnRh

What is the #AZLeg afraid of? Barricades outside. DPS officers inside. Bigger law enforcement response to potential angry feminists storming Capitol than in 2020 when #QShaman & #insurrectionists occupied #AZHouse. People get angry when you take away their rights. #RoeVsWade pic.twitter.com/tMFMjwhfjg

Roe v Wade and the Culture of Abortion is over.
A new chapter of Life has begun.
A chapter where we help women become the Mothers they are meant to be.
Thank you, God.

I’ve been talking to confused and scared physicians, nurses, and women this morning. Our Supreme Court has failed us all by dismantling a human healthcare right in favor of religious extremism. Here’s where our States stand: https://t.co/BbyGb8t0jR

It’s time to fight. We need to do what we should have done 50 years ago… pass a constitutional amendment to protect access to abortion! https://t.co/jSNuLre5Y9
