This line shouldn't mean the difference between being able to get critical abortion care or not. But that's what the Arizona Supreme Court's decision does, and it's putting women's lives at risk.

This won’t stand.

The Arizona Supreme Court issued a devastating ruling to allow a Civil War-era, near-total ban on abortion to be enforced against doctors.

Our doors are open. Planned Parenthood Arizona will continue to provide abortion care through 15 weeks, for a short period of time.

'Leave it to the states,' the Republicans say.

Arizona Supreme Court: Let's go back to 1864 when we were a territory, and before you little ladies even had the right to vote, to own property, or to control your fertility and your fate.

Congress passed the Death in Custody Reporting Act to lift the veil of secrecy on a pattern of deaths in prisons and jails.

Biden’s Justice Department should be committed to transparency, not relying on far-fetched arguments about why they shouldn’t have to hand over public…
