“Here is an opportunity front and center to say look, elections do matter, and who we put in offices up and down the ballot affects our lives personally and can have very dire consequences.”—Rep. Stahl Hamilton

Republican tried to force repeal vote on Arizona abortion ban. Then he shut down the vote azcentral.com/story/news/pol… via azcentral

Thank you Governor Katie Hobbs ! It is not the Legislature’s job to dictate whether or not teachers can allow cell phones in their classrooms. This was another overreach attempt by the state superintendent.

Thank you 12 News with Erica Stapleton for the coverage of my first bill HB2744. Excited loved ones of the severely mentally will now have a voice and stake in the care they need. Thank you Governor Katie Hobbs for signing this important piece of legislation. Rachel Streiff and the…

CAUGHT RED HANDED: Matt Gress now admits he LIED to the public and his constituents. After denying it left and right, Gress now admits he voted IN FAVOR of upholding the 1864 abortion ban — but only after footage of his vote leaked.

Ouch this lede:
After denying it all day Friday, Rep. Matt Gress agreed video footage showed he voted to shut down debate on his attempt to repeal Arizona's Civil War-era abortion ban. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Thank you Stephen King for pointing out the ridiculous law. Sometimes it feels like AZ is in one of your stories-but not written nearly as well.

Thank you Mary Jo Pitzl for following up on the lies that were told! Some of the Republicans are changing their story every other minute. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Arizona Republicans now regret abortion ban they refused to repeal phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-r…

The Arizona Supreme Court ruled an extreme abortion ban from the 1800s with no exceptions for health, rape, or incest will go into effect. Trump is responsible for this.

I’m in Tucson to discuss the fight ahead for our reproductive freedom. Tune in.

Vice President Kamala Harris traveled Friday to Arizona, a battleground state grappling with the reinstatement this week of a more than 100 year-old law banning nearly all abortions, and said there was one person to blame — Donald Trump. trib.al/4VW1AIC

This is what really happened. The Republicans like to pretend they’re trying to fix the mess they made …. Lies.

How good it felt to hug Kris Mayes our fierce and fearless AG who has promised she will not prosecute doctors for providing abortion care under Arizona’s draconian 1864 abortion ban. This is leadership. Thank you.

Thank you Univision Arizona for interviewing me today to talk about the abortion ban and why we need to elect Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. 🚫Don’t let republicans fool you. Trump created this mess and extreme republicans support this terrifying 1864 abortion ban that kicked in.…

GOP Rep Matt Gress has been all over your tv in the last 24 hrs. During these CYA interviews, he's lying. He says he called for a vote on Stephanie Stahl Hamilton's repeal bill & then voted no on a GOP motion to recess. He says he opposed recess because he wanted a vote to happen. FALSE.

Calls for a special session are disingenuous grandstanding from the people who worked to strip us of control of our own bodies. Democrats have language ready to go for a clean repeal. Rs blocked it. You are trying to save your political careers. We are trying to save lives.

GOP: Let’s vote to uphold the extremist 1864 abortion ban.

Dems: Let’s repeal the ban immediately — and let’s make home ownership more attainable for working families in Arizona.

Can't believe this has to be said, but a Special Session wouldn't:

A. Magically change Republican legislators' minds about abortion rights.
B. Force GOP leadership to put anything up for a vote.

The GOP could overturn the 1864 ban at any time. Just put the bill up for a vote.

I’m headed to Arizona, where the state Supreme Court ruled that an abortion ban from 1864 with no exceptions for health, rape, or incest will go into effect.

The fight for reproductive freedom continues.
