Statewide Ballot Measures
Proposition 139 would make abortion access a constitutional right in Arizona.
Currently, Arizona law limits abortion to the first 15 weeks of gestation without exceptions for victims of rape or incest. This law was passed in 2022 by the state legislature. Doctors who perform an abortion beyond this gestational deadline except to prevent the death or injury of a patient would face a class six felony, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to two years.
Proposition 139 explicitly states every Arizonan has a fundamental right to an abortion. It would prohibit any law, regulation, or policy that would deny, restrict, or interfere with abortion access before fetal viability (when a doctor believes a fetus can survive on its own outside of the uterus) without a compelling reason to do so and in the least restrictive way possible. It also restricts any law that would deny abortion access after fetal viability that is necessary to protect the patient’s life or mental health. Finally, it prevents the state from penalizing anyone who assists another person in exercising their right to abortion.
Vote YES on Proposition 139 to ensure your freedom to make your own healthcare decisions!
