What: Arizona Mirror reports that the state’s 15-week abortion ban is officially over. Arizona voted last year to protect abortion access in the state constitution, but the ban itself wasn’t officially dead until a Maricopa County judge struck it down in a suit brought by Planned Parenthood and local OBGYNs.

Key line: “Abortion rights advocates celebrated the ruling, which has been long-awaited and represents the first win in tearing down Arizona’s many hostile abortion laws. More than two dozen anti-abortion laws remain on the books, including laws that mandate a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion can be performed and forbid the use of telehealth to prescribe the abortion pill. Each of those will likely need to be individually challenged in court.”
