Ansari Calls for the Electoral Removal of Justices Bolick and King
This November, voters will have an opportunity to defeat some of those who made this week’s Supreme Court reaffirmation of the 1864 Civil War Era Abortion Ban possible. AZ Central’s Laurie Roberts has already penned a piece today that recognized ten Republicans in the Arizona State Legislature whose electoral vulnerability skyrocketed because of either their … Read more
Are Those Guys Actually Conservative?

My first thought is that the situation Arizona’s women, their families, and caregivers have been left in by this decision by the Arizona Supreme Court (AZSC) is appalling, inhumane, and utterly unacceptable to the vast majority of Arizonans. Therefore, this will not stand. Arizona’s voters will enshrine the right to abortion care consistent with the … Read more
