Governor Katie Hobbs Issues Statement on Arizona’s Invasive Abortion Reporting Law

Trending...
Phoenix, AZ ~ In a statement released today, Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has called for the repeal of a law that requires the state to release an annual abortion report. The law, which was passed in 2010, mandates government surveillance of pregnant women.

According to Governor Hobbs, the report is an attack on the freedom of women and is unacceptable. She believes that the government has no place in monitoring Arizonans' medical decisions or tracking their health history. The governor also stated that starting a family is a personal and sensitive experience for women and their loved ones, and there should be no room for government surveillance or publication of such decisions.

Governor Hobbs strongly believes that the existence of a government registry of pregnancies violates the right to privacy. She stated that in Arizona, they trust women and doctors, and she will continue to fight for laws that reflect this belief.

The annual abortion report was released today as required by the law passed in 2010. However, Governor Hobbs' call for its repeal has sparked a debate on the role of government in personal medical decisions. It remains to be seen how this issue will be addressed by lawmakers in Arizona.
