OPINION ON REHEARING
HOWARD, Judge.
Since our original opinion in this case and during the period for rehearing the United States Supreme Court has decided the cases of Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179, 93 S.Ct. 739, 35 L.Ed.2d 201 (1973) and Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S.Ct. 705, 35 L.Ed.2d 147 (1973). Accordingly, the motion for rehearing is granted and our former opinion is vacated.
In the foregoing cases, the United States Supreme Court held that abortion statutes similar to those of the State of Arizona are unconstitutional.
We are bound by the United States Supreme Court’s interpretation of the United States Constitution. A.R.S. §§ 13-211 through 13-213 are unconstitutional.
The decision of the trial court is affirmed except that part of the decision limiting the effect of the decision to the parties only is modified in that the statutes in question are unconstitutional as to all.
HATHAWAY, C. J., and KRUCKER, J., concur.
