Arizona officials certified the state’s election results on November 25, solidifying the passage of the pro-abortion constitutional amendment. Abortion advocates are already signaling their readiness to start a legal fight to take down the state’s current pro-life laws.<\/p>\n

Currently, preborn children in the state are protected from abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The amendment’s passage means this law could soon be eliminated, allowing all abortions up to the arbitrary point of ‘viability’ \u2014 and even later to \u201cprotect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual.\u201d Such exceptions, especially mental health exceptions, have been used to abort the preborn child all the way up to birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position of the state of Arizona will be that we agree that abortion is legal in our state,\u201d Attorney General Kris Mayes said last week<\/a> at a press conference celebrating the expansion of abortion \u2014 though she noted that the state’s current law will need to be reversed in the courts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position of the state of Arizona is that the passage of Prop. 139 makes the 15 week ban\u2026 unconstitutional,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cAs of 10:12 am when the governor signed the certification, it became unconstitutional. That is a separate matter from whether doctors and providers will be comfortable performing abortions after 15 (weeks).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to see that this is finally coming to fruition,\u201d added Chris Love, a spokesperson for Arizona for Abortion Access. \u201cIt\u2019s a lovely day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state has several current pro-life protections<\/a> in place, such as the requirement that an abortion-minded woman first receive an ultrasound of her child. Another law forbids abortions based on genetic anomalies, while another requires a 24-hour waiting period before a woman can receive an abortion. The abortion industry has indicated it plans to go after every one of these laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the laws that have currently been on the books are under question and are subject to possible challenges at some point,\u201d said<\/a> Darrell Hill, policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona.<\/p>\n

Following the election, Arizona Right to Life released a statement<\/a> calling for all its supporters to continue fighting for the protection of preborn children.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur state crossed a dark and tragic threshold with this vote and dealt a devastating blow to humanity,\u201d said the Honorable Jill Norgaard, Chair of Arizona Right to Life. \u201cThe passage of this amendment is simply a result of months of lies and manipulation by abortion extremists who tried to scare women that they would lose access to medical care if they were pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur organization is deeply thankful for our partners and volunteers who stood boldly in this critical fight…We hope to bring more alongside us in the next few weeks and months to continue this battle for life. This fight is not over!\u201d<\/p>\n
