Proposition 139 will amend the state constitution to guarantee abortions access up to the point of fetal viability around 24 weeks, allowing for exceptions to protect health.
Supporters said the 15-week law created traumatic obstacles for women facing complications later in pregnancy, forcing some women to leave the state for abortions.
I've always felt that once we were on the ballot we would win because our position is really popular, said Chris Love, a spokesperson for the amendment effort.
Arizona has dozens of other laws regulating abortion, including a required 24-hour waiting period, a ban on abortion medication through the mail, and ultrasound requirements.
