The Arizona Senate has voted to repeal a law that would prohibit performing abortions except in cases where it is necessary to save the mother's life. The text of the law reads‚ &;quot;A person who provides‚ supplies or administers to a pregnant woman‚ or procures such woman to take any medicine‚ drugs or substance‚ or uses or employs any instrument or other means whatever‚ with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of such woman‚ unless it is necessary to save her life‚ shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than two years nor more than five years.&;quot;The state Senate voted 16-14 in favor of repealing the law. Two Republicans‚ T.J. Shope and Shawnna Bolick‚ voted with Democrats to support repeal‚ reports indicate. Last week‚ the Arizona state House voted 32-28 in favor of repealing the law‚ with three Republicans voting with Democrats‚ according to reports. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs‚ a Democrat‚ plans to sign the bill. She said in a statement‚ &;quot;I am glad to see the Senate answered my call and voted to repeal Arizona’s 1864 total abortion ban‚ and I look forward to quickly signing the repeal into law.&;quot; Last month‚ the Arizona state Supreme Court issued a decision that would allow for the law to be enforced‚ but according to azag.gov‚ &;quot;As of now‚ the earliest the 1864 territorial abortion ban may take effect is June 27‚ 2024.&;quot;Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes‚ a Democrat‚ said in a Wednesday statement that &;quot;without an emergency clause that would allow the repeal to take effect immediately‚ the people of Arizona may still be subjected to the near-total abortion ban for a period of time this year. Rest assured‚ my office is exploring every option available to prevent this outrageous 160-year-old law from ever taking effect.&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

School officials are in hot water after parents found out about a drag queen performance at a high school prom in New Mexico. Channell Segura‚ Chief of Albuquerque Public Schools‚ admitted to parents that the drag queen performed at the Atrisco Heritage Academy on April 20. A viral video on social media showed the drag queen‚ whose stage name is Mythica Sahreen‚ dancing provocatively while students stand around in a circle. Students who attended the prom told KOB-TV that they weren't offended by the performance but that it crossed a line and made them uncomfortable. Parents were outraged at the performance and demanded that the officials who approved the performance be fired. &;quot;It was just very inappropriate for the kids to see that. I think that's something that belongs in a club — in a nightclub. That's not something for children to see‚&;quot; said Valentin Trujillo‚ a parent of two students at the school‚ to KOAT-TV. &;quot;My daughter hasn't been exposed to things like this. She was traumatized by it to the point that she left prom early. We have to fill out permission slips for these kids to do anything‚ why weren't we notified of this&;#63;&;quot; said another parent to KOAT. Five days after the performance‚ the district said in a letter to parents that principal Irene Cisneros had been replaced by Anthony Lovato. Numerous other school officials were placed on administrative leave. The drag performer‚ whose real name is Dylan Payan‚ told KOB that he had worked with the Gay-Straight Alliance for many years and that the performance had been approved “through the proper channels.” He said he was not paid to perform. Payan was also upset by the reaction to the performance because he claimed that people had sent death threats to him and his employer. He told the New York Times that he had previously performed three times at the school and there had been no negative reaction to those incidents. “At this point‚ it’s just turned into a hate crime‚” he said about the threats. “What kind of message are you sending to your children&;#63;”School officials said they were still investigating who had approved the performance. KOB also confirmed that the drag performer had been previously arrested for several charges‚ including false imprisonment in 2023‚ but that those charges had been dropped. The New York Times didn't mention those arrests in their report.
