Dems Are Counting on Abortion Literally Being on the Ballot
Before the Arizona Supreme Court ruled last week to let the state’s Civil War-era abortion ban stand, the campaign to put abortion rights directly on the state’s ballot this November was coasting along.
But with a stroke of a pen, the court enacted what could be the harshest abortion ban in the country—and also unleashed a tsunami of energy behind a ballot initiative that could reverse that ban by allowing Arizonans to vote to secure the right to abortion in the state constitution.
It also could sway a Senate election and be decisive in the presidential contest.
