Arizona Bans Most Abortions After 20 Weeks

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) "has signed a bill into law banning most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and making numerous other changes to abortion regulations," the Arizona Republic reports.

Daily Beast: "The stipulation likely to be most widely felt is what experts are calling an effective shutdown of medication abortions. These nonsurgical abortions are usually performed within the first nine weeks of pregnancy, and account for between 17 and 20 percent of all abortions."
