Arizona Bill Would Stop Mail-Order Abortions

Lawmakers in Arizona are joining a growing trend of state legislatures moving to regulate or outlaw the mailing of abortion drugs, especially from out of state. State Rep. Rachel Keshel (R), joined by fellow Republicans Lisa Fink, John Gillette, Ralph Heap, David Marshall, and Michael Way, introduced a bill earlier this year that would make “providing an abortion-inducing drug via courier, delivery, or mail service” a class five felony, carrying a maximum sentence of two-and-a-half years in prison for first-time offenses.
