One year after Dobbs decision, anti-abortion rights activist reflects on the year

TUCSON, Ariz. — As the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade approaches, local activists reflect on the landscape of abortion access in Arizona. Kelly Copeland is a local anti-abortion rights activist who said in the last year, abortion access in Arizona is the same as it always was.

"The idea of roe v wade was to bring it back to the states, so that's where we are at," he said."Arizona seems to be status quo, I haven't found anyone who isn't delivering those services." Copeland has worked in the field of anti-abortion rights for over 40 years. And throughout his work, there hasn't been a drastic change, except in the tension around the issue of abortion access.

"So in the trenches, women are still faced with really difficult decisions," he said."We have to be a more loving society and what I've seen in the last 40 years is that we're not. It's become more divisive.""We're not going to move this with a law," Copeland said."You're not going to legislate morality. It's never worked.""We have to stop looking at each other as enemies," he said.
