Democratic Attorney General Kristin Mayes of Arizona announced on Tuesday that she would not enforce a ruling from her state’s supreme court upholding an 1864 law that bans most abortions.
On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a law criminalizing abortions, except in cases where necessary to save the mother’s life, may be enforced following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022, which ruled that there is no constitutional right to an abortion. Mayes, one of the named parties in the case, subsequently issued a statement on X condemning the decision while claiming that her prosecutors would not enforce the law against doctors and women seeking abortions.
“[L]et me be completely clear, as long as I am Attorney General, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law in this state,” wrote Mayes. “Today’s decision to re-impose a law from a time when Arizona wasn’t a state, the Civil War was raging, and women couldn’t even vote will go down in history as a stain on our state.”

Having over 300K Republican ballots not returned (per Turning Point) might have helped her a whole lot more.

Where is the effort to recall this slimy piece of owl poop ?
She's been in too long, flaunted the law for too long and is a total moron.
DB:
The state government should start impeachment proceedings immediately. She doesn't get to decide which laws she's going to enforce. She either follows the law or should be replaced someone who will. The democrats scream "democracy" while completely enforcing their own will on everyone ignoring the law. That is simply tyranny.
