I find it utter absurd that the Arizona Supreme Court passed a law from 1864, (1) before Arizona was even a state, let alone (2) before women had the right to vote, making it illegal to have an abortion except in the case of a mother’s life.

Isn’t that a kind of gender discrimination? Are they trying to test how far back in canon they can go? Are we now going to be subjected to biblical rules?
