The law will not immediately go into effect. The court paused the ruling to allow for lower courts to hear challenges to the bill. Once this period is over, there is a 45-day delay before the law is enforceable. Previously, Arizona law banned abortions after 15-weeks. This law bans abortion at conception, unless the life of the mother is at risk. It does not include exemptions for rape or incest.

Two justices on the Arizona Supreme Court called out the"bombshell" in their colleagues' historic abortion ruling. President Joe Biden condemned the Arizona Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday that upheld an 1864 law banning most abortions in the state.
