Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Tuesday signed a billthat makes abortions “based on the sex or race of the fetus” a felony in the state of Arizona. #
According to The Arizona Republic, the new law specifically targets abortion providers. It allows the biological father of a fetus — or the mother’s parents, if the mother is underage — to press charges against the person who administers the procedure if it was sought because of the fetus’ race or sex. #
House Bill 2443 was signed in the wake of billboard campaigns linking abortion rates to race. Anti-choice groups based in Texas have put up billboards targeting African-American women all over the country(including Jacksonville) and most recently in Chicago. #
State legislators in Arizona opposed to the new law said there is no statistical evidence that there is a problem in the state with race- or gender-based abortions. #
If a doctor or provider is convicted, he or she could face up to seven years in prison and have his or her medical license revoked. #
