A Majority in Arizona Supports Establishing Right to Abortion, Poll Finds
Briefly

A majority of likely voters in Arizona support amending the state's Constitution to guarantee abortion rights, with 58% favoring the proposal, exceeding the needed threshold.
Proposition 139 would enshrine a fundamental right to abortion in Arizona's Constitution, disallowing restrictions before fetal viability, which is generally around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Supporters of the amendment view it as a crucial move to protect access to abortion, while opponents argue it permits too late-term abortions, given the state's current 15-week limit.
The poll indicates broad support for the amendment across demographic groups, particularly among younger and college-educated voters, suggesting a strong cultural shift towards maintaining abortion rights.
