Abortion vote on the horizon: A Republican state representative says there could be a successful vote to repeal the 1864 abortion ban as early as Wednesday, KJZZ’s Camryn Sanchez reports. Rep. David Cook said enough Republican legislators in the state House are willing to join Democrats to support the repeal bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, a Democrat from Tucson. (April 23)

One step closer: The Arizona House voted to repeal the 1864 abortion ban on Wednesday, Axios Phoenix’s Jeremy Duda and Jessica Boehm report. Three Republican legislators joined Democrats in favor of Tucson Democrat Stephanie Stahl Hamilton’s bill to repeal the law. The next step is the Senate vote, which could come as soon as next week.

Bye bye, ban: The Arizona Senate voted yesterday to repeal the state’s 160-year-old law regulating abortion, the Arizona Republic’s Ray Stern writes. The repeal bill passed by a vote of 16-14, with Republican Sen. Shawnna Bolick and Senate President Pro Tempore T.J. Shope siding with Democratic lawmakers. Gov. Katie Hobbs said she’d sign the repeal as soon as it lands on her desk, but it won’t take effect until 90 days after the last day of the legislative session, which has yet to be determined. It’s possible the repeal won’t take effect until late September. (May 2)
