Arizona governor signs bills limiting abortion, trans rights
Arizona’s Republican governor signed a series of bills Wednesday targeting
abortion and transgender rights, joining a growing list of GOP-led states
pursuing a conservative social agenda.
The measures signed by Gov. Doug Ducey will outlaw abortion after
15 weeks if the U.S. Supreme Court allows it, prohibit gender confirmation
surgery for minors and ban transgender girls from playing on girls and
women’s sports teams.

Arizona Republicans enact a controversial new proof-of-citizenship voting law
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Wednesday signed legislation to expand U.S. citizenship voting requirements in the state, a measure that critics warn will jeopardize the voter registrations of thousands of Arizona residents.
In signing House Bill 2492, Ducey disputed testimony from local officials and voting rights advocates who say an unknown number of voters — predominantly older, longtime Arizona residents — will be purged from the state's voter rolls because the last time they registered to vote, there was no requirement to provide proof of citizenship. Critics say those voters would then need to register again.
If nothing else, Ducey has announced that he's got at least one thing in common with each member of the GQP base - he's as much a hater as any of them.
