White House Condemns Arizona Supreme Court Abortion Ruling

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemns the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling reinstating an 1864 law banning nearly all abortions except where it is necessary to save the life of a mother. The near-total-ban ruling is on hold pending lower court challenges. Jean-Pierre lays the blame for today's ruling with the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and says the Biden administration will work to get Congress to pass legislation codifying the Roe decision. close
