NEW: A U.S. district court has temporarily blocked a 2021 Arizona law that grants 'personhood' rights to fetuses, embryos and fertilized eggs.
"on behalf of an unborn child at every stage of development, all rights, privileges and immunities available to other persons, citizens and residents of this state."in 2021, abortion providers and advocacy groups argued that it was "unconstitutionally vague," as it did not explain what "fetal conditions" constitute a "genetic abnormality.
"It is paradoxical how one can 'acknowledge' the equal rights of the unborn while simultaneously permitting and regulating abortion and excluding the unborn from the express definition of 'person,'" Rayes said."The court made the right decision today by blocking this law from being used to create an unthinkably extreme abortion ban," Jessica Sklarsky, senior Staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement.
"People should not have to live in a state of fear when accessing or providing essential healthcare." "Arizona's personhood provision was crafted recklessly by extremist lawmakers in their harmful quest to eradicate abortion access in the state," added Victoria López, director of program and strategy of the ACLU of Arizona.
"While we’re glad that the court has blocked it and that prosecutors can't use this to go after pregnant people or providers, the fight for abortion access continues."
