Arizona voters will decide this November whether to add abortion rights into their state constitution, a prospect that could turbocharge voter turnout in a critical battleground state in the 2024 election.

Late Monday, the Arizona secretary of state’s office announced that it had validated an estimated 577,971 signatures in support of a ballot measure, the Arizona For Abortion Access Act, to establish a constitutional right to abortion in the state.

On X, the office called the measure “the largest petition effort in Arizona history”. The measure will be listed on the ballot as Proposition 139.

    If you pay enough you find one and if it is not restricted in any way it is also legal. I’m not against abortions, but I think there need to be at least some regulations.

      Sounds like a privatized healthcare problem. Most people getting abortions are not able to pay for expensive doctors anyway.

      This was extremely rare during Roe and will continue to be extremely rare, that shit doesn’t happen unless it’s a risk of harm to the carrier. All that law would do is put women at risk.

      Let the medical experts write the regulations, like they do for every other medical procedure.

      So many holes in this argument.
