The AZ Supreme Court ruled that a 200-word summary that abortion advocates used to collect signatures for a ballot measure is valid.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a 200-word summary that abortion advocates used to collect signatures for a ballot measure is valid, clearing the way for voters to decide on the constitutional right to an abortion.Under the measure, abortions would be allowed until an embryo or fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks. There are some exceptions for later-term abortions to save the mother's life or to protect her physical or mental health.
The high court justices rejected that argument, as well as the claim that the summary for the proposed amendment failed to mention it would overturn existing abortion laws if approved by voters.'We have noted that 'easonable people can differ about the best way to describe a principal provision, but a court should not enmesh itself in such quarrels,' the court wrote in its ruling.
