TUCSON, Ariz. — Abortion laws vary widely state to state. That means the ability to travel is becoming important to the ability to get an abortion. With a near-total ban about to kick in in Arizona, abortion providers are keeping an eye on options in other states.

Planned Parenthood of Arizona says it’s been working to accommodate people under the newer 2022 law that's still in effect until the 1864 law takes over in about 60 days. The newer law forbids abortions after fifteen weeks. The 1864 law only allows abortions to save the life of the mother. It allows no exceptions for rape or incest.
