The Arizona state Senate voted to pass a repeal on the 1864 near-total abortion ban that the state Supreme Court approved in a ruling last month. Two Republicans voted in approving the repeal bill. It now goes to the desk of Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs to be signed into law. However a spokesperson said the signing won’t happen on Wednesday.

The Arizona state Senate approved the repeal of an abortion ban that dates back to 1864, and has very few exceptions. If the ban had gone into effect, it would have been one of the strictest abortion bans in the country.

Gov. Katie Hobbs plans to sign the repeal of the law that bans nearly all abortions — keeping the state's 15-weeks-of-pregnacy ban in place. But it's unclear when the repeal takes effect
