The Southern Arizona Regional Health Center began offering surgical abortions and abortion medication for the first time since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June.

Patty Machelor A Planned Parenthood clinic in Tucson started providing abortion care again Monday after nearly two months of legal limbo.

Over the last few weeks, Fonteno said,"it’s become very clear that abortion is still legal in Arizona." But Planned Parenthood of Arizona and the Pima County Attorney's Office urged Johnson to allow licensed physicians to continue to perform abortions. Johnson said she will make her decision by Sept. 19.

The Republican attorney general has since acknowledged that while the old, pre-Roe law is back in effect in 14 Arizona counties, the injunction continues to block his office's — and the Pima County prosecutor's office — from enforcing an abortion ban in Pima County. A critical step to resuming reproductive health care in Pima County has been making sure staff were comfortable with taking this step, Fonteno said. Many were afraid after being threatened with arrest, she said.

Great news. Glad to hear women are being treated like sentient adults with the brains to determine what is right rather than errant children.
