The phrase “unborn human being” can stay in the Legislative Council’s analysis of Proposition 139, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled Aug. 14.
The court found the language “substantially complies” with a state law requiring analyses included in the state’s publicity pamphlet to be impartial, reversing an earlier ruling from Maricopa County Superior Court.
Following the ruling, Dawn Penich, a spokesperson for Arizona for Abortion Access, said the ruling “means that Arizona voters won’t get to learn about the questions on their ballot in a fair, neutral, and accurate way but will instead be subjected to biased, politically-charged words developed not by experts but by anti-abortion special interests to manipulate voters and spread misinformation.”
