A pro-abortion group in Arizona is running<\/a> a $15 million advertising campaign in support of a pro-abortion measure set for the November ballot. The ad exploits the tragic story of child loss.<\/p>\n

Arizona for Abortion Access, the group behind the proposed ballot initiative, is a coalition of several pro-abortion groups including the ACLU of Arizona and Planned Parenthood Arizona. Proposition 139<\/a> would create a “fundamental right” to abortion through “fetal viability” with exceptions to “protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual” after fetal viability, defined as “the point in the pregnancy when, in the good-faith judgment of a treating health care professional, the fetus has a significant likelihood of survival outside the uterus.”<\/p>\n

Mental health is a broad loophole, known to have been exploited by abortionists in the past<\/a> to allow abortions, essentially for any reason.<\/p>\n

The advertising campaign includes ads for radio, mail, broadcast, and streaming and will run through the state until Election Day in line with the start of early voting on October 9. The ad campaign features a couple, Ashley Ortiz and Vance Rogers, who said they were denied an abortion under the state’s current law, which allows abortion through 15 weeks with an exception to save the mother’s life or prevent impairment of a major bodily function.<\/p>\n
