Arizona abortion rights group submits signatures needed for ballot measure
An Arizona abortion rights group turned in a petition on Wednesday morning for a ballot measure that would enshrine the right to an abortion in the state's constitution. Arizona for Abortion Access, the organization behind the petition, said it collected 823,685 voter signatures -- more than double the 383,923 signatures required from registered voters to qualify for the November 2024 election. The proposed amendment, which is being called the "Arizona Abortion Access Act," would allow abortions up until fetal viability, usually around 24 to 26 weeks gestation, with exceptions after that period "if a treating healthcare provider determines an abortion is needed to protect the life or physical or mental health of the patient."
