The campaign seeking to protect abortion access says it has collected more than enough qualifying signatures to get on the Arizona ballot in November.
But, others say this measure is unregulated by medical professionals for those seeking an abortion past the 15-week mark.Leaders of Arizona for Abortion Access say they have collected over 500,000 signatures from voters. It’s more than enough votes to get it on the November ballot to put the measure in front of Arizona voters.Under current state law, abortions are legal up to 15 weeks of pregnancy with an exception after that to save the mother’s life.
"We remain focused on informing voters that this amendment means giving up those critical safety precautions and that requires medical doctors. Just to expand abortion beyond the 15 weeks and beyond what most voters support," said Cindy Dahlgren, spokesperson for It Goes Too Far.It also allows a minor to make that decision on their own, Dahlgren said."Under this amendment, parents will be shut out. They will be shut out of their minor daughter’s abortion decision," she said.
