The Arizona Supreme Court, whose justices are all Republican appointees, upheld an 1864 law that bans all abortions from the moment of conception, except those necessary to save a woman’s life... and good luck trying to legally establish that a woman's life is in jeopardy before she, well, actually dies.

The decision from the Arizona Supreme Court concerned a law that was on the books long before Arizona achieved statehood. It outlaws abortion from the moment of conception, except when necessary to save the life of the mother, and it makes no exceptions for rape or incest. Doctors prosecuted under the law could face fines and prison terms of two to five years.

The Arizona republican legislature packed the state supreme court back in 2016, expanding it from five to seven justices.

Governor Doug Ducey said at the time, the expansion would assure "swift justice."

Today, Ducey said, essentially, "Oh, sh!t. Unless the state legislature fixes this, we are so screwed."

Or words to that effect.
