It’s a question too big to be answered by a handful of U.S. Supreme Court justices.It’s a question that should be decided by … us.And, hopefully, we’ll get that chance.A group calling itself Arizonans for Reproductive Freedom submitted an application at the state Secretary of State’s Office that would give women in Arizona autonomy over their own bodies.
The proposal is tied to viability and is meant, more than anything, to keep the most radical elements of the anti-abortion movement from banning abortion completely and compelling even the victims of rape or incest from being forced to carry the pregnancy to term.In order to get the proposal on the ballot the group will need to submit 356,467 valid voter signatures by July 7.
Keeping the language of the initiative to only four paragraphs will help with that. But it won’t stop opponents from trying the muddy the waters, frighten people and put forth who knows what kind of bizarre conspiracy theories.It's a simple question, best answered by usShould women control their bodies or should the state?A small gang of lawmakers?

ejmontini Where do I sign!!
