Democratic Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs said Tuesday that, if elected to the office, she would work on rolling back the restrictive abortion measures recently enacted by Gov. Doug Ducey and the state legislature.
“The restrictions on abortion that are already in law in Arizona are extreme and out of touch,” Hobbs, Arizona’s secretary of state, told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Gaydos and Chad Show.
“As governor, I’m going to do everything I can to roll back the extreme restrictions that we have in law here in Arizona.”
Ducey last month signed a bill making it a crime for a doctor to perform an abortion after 15 weeks.
While the bill prohibits the prosecution of a woman for having an abortion, and there is also an exception if the mother is at risk of death or serious permanent injury, there is no exception for instances of rape or incest.
