Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes will issue a legal opinion on Thursday on abortions in the state.
During the recent session, the Arizona Legislature repealed the near-total ban that had been put into effect by the state Supreme Court earlier this year.
A group of Democrats asked Mayes whether the 15-week ban allows for pregnancy to be terminated after that period if it is a case of a medical emergency.
In a letter to Mayes, lawmakers said that the 2022 law doesn't define what that means, saying they want clarification so that doctors and patients don't need to question the risk of performing an emergency abortion.
