Wow, this is amazing news! Arizona rocks!

This article makes for a great read - and the photograph of smiling politicians is beautiful too. You can tell they’re genuinely happy with their important accomplishment for women’s rights.

Two notable paragraphs:

It was after the state Supreme Court cleared the way for enforcement that Hobbs urged the state Legislature to take imminent action to undo the ban before it went into effect. Republican lawmakers, who hold a narrow majority in both chambers, derailed discussions about repealing the ban. At one point, the roadblocks resulted in chants of “Shame! Shame!” by outraged Democratic colleagues.

Emotions on the House floor and in the gallery ran high as House Democrats were able to garner the support of three Republicans to pass the repeal legislation two weeks later, sending the measure to the Senate for consideration. Two GOP senators joined with Democrats a week later to grant final approval.

Special thanks to the Democrats for making this work! Plus a few stragglers from the other side.

Stating the obvious, though we don’t need this reminder:

Both parties are not the same.
