Kris Mayes was an Arizona Supreme Court case in which the court upheld an 1864 law criminalizing abortions except to save the life of the mother.[1] Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes did not enforce the law when it was in effect.[2] The law was repealed on May 2, 2024, and the repeal took effect on September 14, 2024.[3] 2024 Arizona Proposition 139 passed on November 5, 2024, establishing a right to abortion in the Constitution of Arizona.
