Ariz. Lawmakers Backing Abortion Repeal Lose Committee Spots

Two lawmakers in the Arizona House, one from each party, were booted from key committee assignments Wednesday after they voted with the majority to repeal the state’s 1864 abortion ban.

State Rep. Matt Gress, 1 of 3 Republicans to vote with Democrats to repeal the law, was removed from the Appropriations Committee and Democrat Rep. Oscar De Los Santos was removed from the Appropriations and Rules committees, The Hill reported Wednesday.

Earlier Wednesday, the House voted 32-28 to repeal the law that calls for a near-total ban on the procedure, except to save the life of the mother. It also calls for criminal penalties for anyone who helps a woman get an abortion.
