The Arizona Abortion Access Act will stay on the 2024 general election ballot after the Arizona Supreme Court rejected arguments from Arizona Right to Life that the measure’s 200-word description is misleading.
In a unanimous decision affirming a prior ruling from the superior court, justices found the abortion act’s description accurately described the measure and concluded a reasonable person would be able to discern its key provisions.
“The Description explains each of these provisions and the tests that would apply to restrictions upon that right. Nothing in the Description ‘either communicates objectively false or misleading information or obscures the principal provisions’ basic thrust,’” Chief Justice Ann Timmer wrote.
