AZ AG: I Won't Enforce Abortion Law Upheld by State Supreme Court

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says she will not enforce a law dating back to 1864 that bans abortion in virtually all instances. ...

Mayes, a Democrat, called the 4-2 decision "unconscionable and an affront to freedom."

"The court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans," Mayes said. "As long as I am attorney general, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law in this state."

Isn't that a question for the state legislature? AFAIK, attorneys general do not have veto power over statutes. Voters in AZ should demand that the AG follow the law, or resign.
