PHOENIX (AP) Arizonas 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.

Ducey also signed the first of what is expected to be a host of election laws sent to him by majority Republican lawmakers in the name of election security.
