AZ: 'Remember in November': The rallying cry after the Supreme Court's abortion ban ruling
Armed with hand-made posters and signature petition sheets, hundreds converged at a busy intersection near the heart of downtown Scottsdale on Sunday to voice their anger at Arizona’s return to a Civil War-era law banning nearly all abortions.
Less than a week earlier, the Arizona Supreme Court said that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 trumps a newer law restricting abortions to 15 weeks, outlawing all abortions except for those provided to save a woman’s life.
A pause on the ruling delays its enforcement until June, but for protestors, the shock and indignation was still fresh. Attendees clustered at the intersection of Camelback and Scottsdale roads, waving signs reading “Women will die,” “We won’t go quietly back to 1864,” “Vote them out,” and chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho abortion bans have got to go!” as cars streaked past, many of them honking in reply.
Chris Fleischman set up an array of posters around a bus stop shelter, keeping hold of one of three PVC pipes holding up a large cardboard sign reading “Remember in November” in bold lettering while arranging smaller posters with candidate names on them crossed out in red underneath it.
