Resolved when either state eases access to abortion, when a rule change is made via courts, ballot propositions or legislation, not when it goes into effect.
Close date will be extended as needed.
Meanwhile I made an Abortion Rights Dashboard, because there are lots of interesting, important, and hilaritragic facets to this issue!
Dear @traders as you no doubt know, this happened today, so I’m resolving this market as YES, but also noting that technically abortion access has not changed, because the 1800s law never went into effect. Abortion in Arizona remains “legal” with significant restrictions (only before 15 weeks, medication can’t be mailed, state requires doctors to do an ultrasound, tell women a bunch of facts about their fetus designed to convince her she may not know what she is sacrificing, etc etc). As in Florida, there is a ballot proposition in the works that has a lot of momentum, if passed, people who need abortion in Arizona would most likely have an easier time of it… so, I’m thinking 🤔 on how to better construct the next version of this market. Stay tuned!
