Arizona lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday repealing a law from the 1800s that outlaws nearly all abortions in the state, according to The New York Times.
The state Supreme Court ruled in April that the law should be allowed to go into effect, meaning that performing an abortion would be punishable by a felony charge of up to five years in prison, with a limited exception to save the life of the mother.
The state Senate narrowly passed a bill that would repeal the law entirely, and Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is expected to sign it into law, according to the NYT.
