After an Arizona constitutional amendment allowing abortion past 15 weeks was recently certified<\/a>, abortion businesses in the state announced they can’t wait to kill preborn children later in pregnancy, with at least one admitting that it is already<\/em> committing abortions up to about 24 weeks, even though the 15-week law is still in effect until overturned by the courts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Atsuko Koyama, an abortionist at Camelback Family Planning in Phoenix, told The Copper Courier<\/a> that her facility is now committing abortions up to the point of “fetal viability” because they are “confident” the current law restricting abortions after 15 weeks will soon be overturned. In early December, abortion activists filed a lawsuit<\/a> to block the law, and Attorney General Kris Mayes said that her office would not be enforcing the law<\/em> while the lawsuit proceeds. Koyama praised Mayes’ decision, knowing that she could break the law without fear of penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important for us to take the good and the win when we have it, right?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The state’s Planned Parenthood abortion businesses have also noted that they, too, are getting ready to start aborting babies later in pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
