Judge rules Arizona’s ban on abortions can be enforced, setting up legal showdown before election
(Worthy News) – An Arizona judge ruled Friday that a century-old law banning most abortions in the key battleground state can be enforced, setting up a legal showdown in the shadows of the midterm elections.

An appeal is expected. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
