Abortion measure one step closer to reaching Arizona's November ballot
If the amendment makes it on the ballot and is approved by voters, then abortion in the state would be legal up until the point of viability.The group fighting for abortion to be on the ballot in Arizona announced Tuesday they are one step closer. Arizona for Abortion Access said they have gathered 500,000 signatures, which is beyond the number needed to get the measure on the ballot in November.
"It's very validating," said Dawn Penich, the Communications Director for the group.
She said that's well above the minimum threshold, which is around 384,000 signatures.
If they succeed, voters will be deciding on a constitutional amendment on abortion. If passed the amendment would allow access until the point of viability.
