Despite Attorney General Kris Mayes' pledge to not prosecute, Arizona abortion providers say they aren't likely to break the 1864 law that's responsible for a near-total ban on the controversial procedure.
DeShawn Taylor, a doctor at Desert Star Institute for Family Planning, told the outlet that she appreciates Mayes' efforts, but is working with her board to decide whether to continue performing abortions. The 1864 ban is slated to become state law June 8 and Mayes has promised not to prosecute doctors who perform abortions, saying in a statement on Wednesday that she will "fight like hell" to prevent the measure from taking effect.
