PHOENIX — An abortion-access constitutional amendment has enough verified signatures to appear on Arizona ballots this fall but must cross one final hurdle in the state Supreme Court, which is expected to rule on the proposition’s language this month.
“Arizona Right to Life has a pending lawsuit regarding the ballot language. As such, the Initiative cannot be on the ballot until the lawsuit is decided by the Arizona Supreme Court,” the group said about Proposition 139’s description on the ballot, arguing the 200-word summary doesn’t adequately inform voters of changes the amendment would make to state law.
All Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the GOP-majority Legislature voted for the repeal after weeks of debate. A 15-week law is on the books, which former GOP Gov. Doug Ducey signed in 2022 before Roe’s overturn. “It really depends on if the younger voters, the 18 to 24, come out to vote. They come out to vote for the abortion initiative, will they stick around and vote for Harris and Ruben Gallego? That is the big question over the next couple of months because for the first time, really, those voters are energized to come out to vote for something,” Republican strategist Barrett Marson told The Post.
