The Planned Parenthood Action Fund and unions are running ads in Arizona promoting Proposition 139, the Right to Abortion Initiative. Funded also by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, the ads contain misleading language about Arizona’s current law, such as stating abortion is illegal. 

An ad titled “Waiting” states twice that there is a ban on abortion in Arizona. However, state law currently permits abortions up until the 15th week. Abortion hasn’t been illegal in the state for many years. After the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022, a judge suspended Arizona’s old law prohibiting most abortions. The Arizona Legislature then passed a law permanently rescinding the law, leaving in place the new 15-week law enacted in 2022.

AZRTL filed an opening brief with the Arizona Supreme Court on Monday, asking the court “to find the Ballot Measure legally insufficient for placement on the Arizona Ballot because the petition’s summary misrepresented and concealed the principal provisions of the Ballot Measure.” Prop. 139 will legalize abortion up until ninth months of pregnancy, including partial-birth abortion.

Former Arizona legislator Nancy Barto, who was defeated for reelection in 2022 due to progressives targeting her over championing pro-life legislation, spoke to a church in Casa Grande Thursday evening about Proposition 139. Barto told the group of 158 at Cowboy Church of Pinal County about the negative ramifications of Prop. 139, the Right to Abortion Initiative, which is almost certain to be on the ballot this fall. 

The proposition legalizes abortion up to nine months, including partial-birth abortions, removes requirements that doctors be involved, eliminates parental consent, and removes penalties for those who assist with obtaining abortions. Arizona’s current abortion law prohibits abortions after 15 weeks.
