The state of Arizona has been ordered to pay Planned Parenthood of Arizona and other abortion providers more than $600,000 in attorney fees and other costs they spent fighting a since-repealed law.

Foes of the new law expanding the school voucher program have until close of business Tuesday to submit at least 75,321 valid signatures on referendum petitions. If successful, the law remains on “hold” until November 2018 when voters get the last word on whether to ratify or veto the change.

Lawmakers approved legislation this year that threatens to pull funding from Planned Parenthood, and passed a law that requires physicians to do more to save fetuses that are “delivered alive.”

Republican legislative leaders are using a provision buried in the state budget in their latest attempt to defund Planned Parenthood.

A legal challenge is likely against a measure mandating that doctors try to do everything possible to save the life of a baby born alive.

Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday signed into law what appears to be the most comprehensive restrictions in the country on what doctors have to do if a baby is born alive during an abortion.

Spurred by a newly released undercover video, the state House voted 34-22 Wednesday to require doctors to do everything possible to save the life of a baby born alive after an abortion.

Rejecting concerns of doctors, a House panel voted along party lines, 6-3, late March 15 to require them to do everything possible to keep a severely premature baby alive no matter the chances of survival.

Lawmakers in several states are considering requirements for doctors to inform women seeking medical abortions about an unproven procedure called "abortion reversal."

State lawmakers voted Wednesday to mandate that doctors have to try to resuscitate any fetus born alive -- even if is not viable.
