Arizona’s Abortion Ban: Meet the Author and His Disciples

Who wrote Arizona’s Abortion Bill in 1864? A man with three wives in their teens…

“William Claude Jones was a ‘pursuer of nubile young females’. He was elected elected speaker of the Arizona House in 1864. And it was that legislature — the one Jones presided over in 1864, after he had already abandoned his first wife, and married a 12-year-old and was just weeks away from marrying a 15-year-old, though still a few years away from marrying a 14-year-old.” — Washington Post

“Every person who shall administer or cause to be administered or taken, any medicinal substances, or shall use or cause to be used any instruments whatever, with the intention to procure the miscarriage of any woman then being with child, and shall be thereof duly convicted, shall be punished by imprisonment in the Territorial prison for a term not less than two years nor more than five years.” – Washington Post

Republicans backtrack

“Republican candidates in close races across the country who once fervently backed severe abortion restrictions are shifting how they talk about the issue… candidates are shying away from past hard-line positions and softening their stances. In some cases, the changes have been overt, with candidates reversing course on supporting outright bans on abortion or even denying they ever opposed it.” — CNN

TakeAway: Stop MAGA extremists taking America back to 1864 to ban abortions. Vote for President Biden and Democrats to protect your freedoms.
