Arizona tribal citizens weigh abortion access options
A substantial number of Native Americans are affected by Arizona’s efforts to solidify a strict ban on abortions.
Even after Arizona elected leaders repealed the law affirmed by the state Supreme Court that criminalizes nearly all abortions, the state faces a new landscape with it comes to access to the procedure. Abortion access advocates are taking cues from other states with abortion restrictions on the books — a reality that affects at least 75 federally recognized tribes.
Join Native America Calling to get a rundown from multiple perspectives on the current trends and realities for abortion access for Native women.
