The Arizona Abortion Access Act has officially qualified for the November ballot as Proposition 139. The initiative, which seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, gathered over 577,971 signatures, surpassing the required threshold. This measure, if passed, could override the state's existing 15-week abortion ban. The certification of this initiative marks a significant moment for reproductive rights in Arizona, a key swing state, and could influence voter turnout in the upcoming election cycle.
