Abortion rights advocates plan to ask Arizona voters to create a constitutional right to abortion.
Members of the U.S. Secret Service keep watch before President Joe Biden spoke at the Red Butte Airfield Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2023, in Tusayan, Ariz. Abortion rights advocates on Tuesday began a push to ask Arizona voters to create a constitutional right to abortion, injecting the issue into the battleground state's volatile politics ahead of next year's election.
The proposed constitutional amendment would guarantee abortion rights until a fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks of pregnancy. It also would allow later abortions to save the mother's life or to protect her physical or mental health. Voters in Republican-leaning states, including Kansas and Kentucky, have responded by protecting abortion access. Voters in Ohio on Tuesday rejected a proposed constitutional change that would have made it tougher to protect abortion rights.
