The Arizona for Abortion Access Act would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. This proposition gives people the power to make their own important, personal healthcare decisions without political interference, prevents abortion providers from being thrown in jail, and protects those who offer support to someone who is seeking abortion care.
Everyone deserves the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions, including whether or when to start or grow their family. Not only do abortion restrictions go against this shared value, but they create dangerous situations when people are turned away from the care they need. Furthermore, these laws are deeply inequitable and most harm the same people who have always faced systemic barriers to care — communities of color, people with low incomes, immigrants, indigenous people, people in rural communities, young people, the LGBTQ+ community, and people with disabilities.
A yes vote on Proposition 139 will stop overzealous, extremist politicians from interfering with people’s most personal and private reproductive healthcare decisions. Most importantly, it will restore and protect access to safe, reliable abortion care that our communities need and deserve.
