The ban, which predates the state's founding, allows exemptions only to save the mother's life.
A near-total ban on abortion dating from 1864 must be enforced in Arizona, a judge has ruled.
The judge lifted an injunction which barred enforcement of a law allowing abortion only to save the mother's life. This year the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, which determined there was a constitutional right to abortion.Arizona's law predates the state's founding and includes a two- to five-year prison sentence for anyone who helps someone get an abortion.Judge Kellie Johnson of Pima County Superior Court lifted this injunction on Friday.
The president of Planned Parenthood Arizona, Brittany Fonteno, said she could not overstate how "cruel" the decision was.
