Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill Wednesday that would protect more than 600 unborn babies every year by banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Sponsored by state Sen. Nancy Barto, R-North Phoenix, Senate Bill 1164 makes it illegal to abort an unborn baby after 15 weeks of pregnancy except in medical emergencies when the mother’s life is at risk. Abortionists who violate the abortion ban could lose their medical license and face felony charges.

“In Arizona, we know there is immeasurable value in every life – including preborn life,” Ducey said in a statement Wednesday. “I believe it is each state’s responsibility to protect them.”

The state House passed the bill along party lines last week, and the state Senate approved it in February.

How were these pro-abortionists raised? They have no morals evidently.
