The Arizona Supreme Court said this week officials may enforce an 1864 law criminalizing abortion except when a woman's life is at stake.

Wade, a ruling that for nearly half a century had protected the constitutional right to abortion for people across the nation. Now, the decision on whether abortion will remain legal is turned over to the states. Colorado has laws on the books that protect abortion in this state, but for many surrounding states that isn’t the case.

States like Colorado have passed legislation to preserve access to abortion, but several others intend to outlaw the practice as soon as possible. That may be sooner than later, given a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that calls for Roe v. Wade to be overturned.

But officials in Colorado swiftly reacted to the leak and vowed to protect the state’s unrestricted access to the procedure.
