Hobbs Defends Abortion Rights Against GOP Threats

Governor Katie Hobbs is doubling down on her record defending abortion rights as Arizona heads to the polls, zeroing in on GOP rivals Andy Biggs and David Schweikert—both of whom backed federal abortion bans—warning that their election could undo hard-won protections. Hobbs, backed by doctors and advocates, has signed executive orders shielding patients and providers, vetoed restrictive bills, and expanded birth control access, positioning herself as the only leader who can safeguard reproductive freedom. Medical professionals and rights groups fear a Republican takeover could reintroduce legal hurdles, even as recent court wins have weakened some restrictions. With a new “My Body. My Ballot” campaign energizing voters, activists are pushing to enshrine contraception access into law and urge voters to re-elect Hobbs and flip the legislature to lock in lasting reproductive rights.
