The Arizona Supreme Court recently ruled that a 160-year-old abortion ban can be enforced by the state.
The law was first established in 1864 - preceding Arizona becoming a state - and it makes abortion punishable by two to five years in prison, unless the mother's life is at risk.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says this change could turn Arizona into one of the biggest battlegrounds in the upcoming US election.
