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.
Every state should be required to put abortion on the ballot this year. (if a direct vote hadn’t happened since the overturning of Roe.) States with trigger laws shouldn’t be allowed to implement decades old laws that were passed by a old and dying generation.
I agree it should be on the ballot in EVERY state. Simple question should abortion be legal?
Yes -legal no restrictions
No - illegal no exceptions
As much as I’m pro abortion: no restrictions is bullshit too. Wouldn’t allow aborting in the 9th month if not the life of the mother is at stake.
Leave it to the doctor and the one who is pregnant. No one is seeking to abort at 8.5 months unless there is a serious medical reason. So yeah leave it to the doctor and the one who is pregnant.
I mean I would, but I’m also a man that knows better than to be in that situation so I got sterilized. If someone wishes to abort at 8 and some or even 9 I have no ground to stand on when it comes to someones life that doesnt even involve me
Yeah, that’s not a real fucking thing. No one is going to planned parenthood to get an abortion at 9 months because they don’t want to raise a kid.
That’s not an abortion and also does not happen.
Why not?
Sometimes when it comes up I like to say we should allow abortion up to 20 months, just to anchor the conversation a little. Little door in the face bargaining.
Why so low? How about some 1000 months, that’s a nice round number.
Yeah, there’s not a single woman who put up with the aches, morning sickness, tiny bladder, mood swings, gas, swollen joints, and everything else that accompanies pregnancy, for nine months before deciding she really didn’t want to be pregnant.
The only reason women delay getting abortions is either something happens late in gestation that puts the life of the mother or the viability of the fetus as risk, or Republicans put up a bunch of arbitrary obstacles.
