Arizona governor signs three new abortion restrictions into law
[su_publirb]
Republican Arizona Governor Doug Doucey is doing the same thing other red state are doing: efforting a way to stop abortions.
The signing of the bill, Senate Bill 1324, is likely to jump-start a federal court case that had blocked a previous version of the legislation. The bill bars doctors from prescribing the drug commonly known as RU-486 after seven weeks of pregnancy and requires it to be taken only at Food and Drug Administration-approved doses in effect until this week. It also requires the two doses of the drug to be taken at a clinic, while providers now send the patient home with the second pill to be taken days after the first…
Ducey also signed two other bills targeting abortion or abortion providers. One, Senate Bill 1474, bars abortion providers from transferring fetal tissue for use in research. Planned Parenthood’s Arizona affiliate said it doesn’t provide fetal tissue for research. The second, Senate Bill 1485, puts into law a ban on state employees directing charitable donations to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood Arizona through paycheck deduction. That ban was adopted by a board controlled by Ducey last year.
