Support for abortion rights measure in Arizona cuts across party lines

Arizona is one of ten states this November that will consider a ballot proposal to protect abortion rights. The state's voters will decide whether to enshrine the right to an abortion in their state constitution. The ballot measure, known as Proposition 139, would establish a fundamental right to abortion and prohibit state bans before fetal viability. According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, 58 percent of the state’s likely voters support the initiative. Support for the measure runs across "the political spectrum" and the state's demographics, according to Chris Love, spokesperson for Arizona for Abortion Access, the group behind the effort to bring reproductive rights to the ballot.
