(Phoenix, AZ) -- Lawsuits over Arizona's abortion laws are costing the state millions. The state of Arizona has been ordered to pay court costs for multiple cases involving anti-abortion laws. The Arizona Capitol Times reports that in the past eight years, the state has been ordered to pay about 2-point-2 million dollars to groups that have challenged some restrictive abortion laws passed by Arizona's legislature. If the state loses the case, taxpayers end up footing the bill.
