Arizona House lawmakers on Wednesday passed a bill to repeal a near-total abortion ban from 1864 on the books in the state.

The bill will now go to the state Senate after all 29 House Democrats and three Republicans voted in favor of the repeal.

The ban was held up by the Arizona Supreme Court earlier this month.

"MAGA Republicans have spent the last week lying about their stance on abortion because they know that when abortion is on the ballot, Democrats win, every time," said Arizona Democratic Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano.

The Arizona House voted on Wednesday to repeal the state's controversial 1864 abortion ban

The abortion case before the Supreme Court on Wednesday featured vigorous questioning and comments, particularly by the three liberal justices. At issue is whether Idaho’s near-total ban on abortion is so strict that it violates a federal law requiring emergency care for any patient, including providing abortions for pregnant women in dire situations.

A ruling could reverberate beyond Idaho, to at least half a dozen other states that have similarly restrictive bans.

President Biden seemed to suffer a verbal slip-up during a speech at a trade union conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

Biden, reading off a teleprompter, appeared to incorporate script instructions in the middle of his speech, resulting in an awkward applause line. The moment came during a section of his remarks straight out of a campaign stump speech.
