Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Pima County Attorney Laura Conover joined the case on the side of Planned Parenthood, saying in court filings that lifting the injunction "without the necessary modification to harmonize" the conflicting laws would lead to arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement of the law.
45% : That put Planned Parenthood in the unusual position of arguing for later laws that allow but limit abortions, like the new 15-week law, during what Gibson called a "tense" hearing before Pima Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson.
42% : In the meantime, uncertainty about the state of the law has forced abortion providers like Planned Parenthood to "pause" the procedure.
41% : In the meantime, Arizona has passed a number of laws regarding abortion - most recently this spring when Gov. Doug Ducey signed a measure allowing abortion until 15 weeks of pregnancy.
41% : But Planned Parenthood lawyer Sarah Mac Dougall argued that nearly 50 years of state law regulating abortion as a "legal, medical procedure" would be upended by the old law, causing confusion for patients, physicians and prosecutors.
38% : "If abortion is outlawed, there is going to be suffering for pregnant people and their families."
37% : But Dahlgren thinks the tide has been turning against abortion for some time.
