Overview
Repeals criminal statute prohibiting abortion-related conduct that is not necessary to save
the life of the mother.
History
Under A.R.S. § 13-3603, it is a criminal offense punishable by 2-5 years in prison for a person

medicine, drugs or substance, or use or employ any instrument or other means whatever,
with the intent to procure the miscarriage of the woman, unless it is necessary to save the
woman's life.
Formerly codified at A.R.S. § 13-211, this statute was renumbered as A.R.S. § 13-3603 in
