In a recent ruling, the Arizona Supreme Court decided that an informational pamphlet for Arizona voters can refer to a fetus as an “unborn human being” in the upcoming vote to guarantee a constitutional right to an abortion. The proposed amendment would allow abortions until around 24 weeks, with exceptions for the mother’s health. The decision has sparked criticism from abortion rights advocates who believe the language used in the pamphlet is biased.
Despite the ruling, the group Arizona for Abortion Access remains committed to spreading the truth about the Arizona Abortion Access Act. The pamphlet aims to inform voters about candidates and ballot measures for the upcoming election. The Arizona secretary of state’s office has already certified enough signatures to include the abortion rights amendment on the ballot.
With abortion rights becoming a central issue for Democrats following the 2022 Roe v. Wade decision, the upcoming vote in Arizona is crucial. Voters will have the opportunity to make their voices heard on this important issue come November.
