A federal judge in Arizona blocked a 2021 state law that protects unborn children from abortion by granting them “personhood” on Monday.
U.S. District Judge Douglas Rayes deemed that Arizona’s personhood law that classifies “fetuses, embryos and fertilized eggs as ‘people’ beginning at the moment of conception” was too vague to be enforced as state law.
Rayes stated that it is “anyone’s guess” how prosecutors might apply the law against individuals. Under the “personhood” law, it remains unclear if even a legal abortion would be considered a crime.
