Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
  • Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

  • Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

  • State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

  • A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

  • Kelly faced charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault related to the fatal shooting on Jan. 30, 2023, of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a 48-year-old migrant from Nogales, Mexico.

  • Throughout the trial, prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in Kelly's statements to law enforcement officials during the investigation.

  • The defense argued that Kelly was merely protecting himself and his wife, firing warning shots above the group, while the prosecution contended there was no evidence of another shot being fired and that the migrant was unarmed.
