The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an attempt to block a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine the right to an abortion from appearing on the November ballot.
Arizona Right to Life, a group opposed to abortion rights, filed a challenge to the ballot initiative, taking issue with the 200-word petition description used to collect signatures and arguing that the public was misled about how broad the amendment would be. In its opinion issued Tuesday, the court found that the description of the amendment “is not required to explain the Initiative’s impact on existing abortion laws or regulations.
The initiative had to reach 383,923 signatures to get on the ballot. The amendment would enshrine the right to an abortion in the state constitution up to fetal viability, which doctors believe is around 22 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. The Arizona high court on Tuesday ordered that Arizona’s secretary of state include the proposed amendment in the 2024 election publicity pamphlet and on the November ballot.
