Rep. Nancy Mace on Wednesday told Newsmax an Arizona Supreme Court ruling that allows the state to use a law from 1864 to criminalize all abortions except for in cases in which the mother's life is in danger is too "extreme" and called on the state's legislature to "act fast" in rejecting such plans.
She also said that former President Donald Trump's comments this week on abortion, when he said he believes exceptions should be allowed and states should make the decision on their laws, were important. "I hope that today will call on the Arizona Legislature to act fast, act now, act today, and get moving on correcting this ruling," said Mace. "We don't need to be throwing doctors in jail. This should not be a felony, and Republicans need to be as vocal as they can be across the country, rebuffing the Arizona ruling yesterday."
