Appellate judges grilled an assistant attorney general over his claim that a territorial-era law banning most abortions once again makes the practice a crime despite a new law specifically permitting doctors to terminate a pregnancy through the 15th week of pregnancy. And hanging in the balance is whether abortions will remain legal in Arizona.

An Arizona-based law firm founded to defend what it says are Christian values in court is trying to block the most used method of abortion.

Saying it now has legal breathing room, Planned Parenthood of Arizona is reopening all its sites where it offers abortion in the state.
