NOW: Arizona's Senate voted to repeal the 1864 abortion ban on a 16-14 vote, with two Republicans joining all Democrats.

(The state House already voted to repeal last week.)

When bill becomes law, AZ's 15-week abortion ban (passed a few years ago by the GOP) would remain in effect.

Some of what's the ballot that's relevant to that:
—all legislature
—referendum
—state supreme court https://boltsmag.org/your-state-by-state-guide-to-the-2024-supreme-court-elections/#AZ
