This ballot initiative proposes a constitutional amendment in Arizona guaranteeing a woman's right to abortion up to the point of fetal viability. This means the state could not restrict abortion before the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb without extraordinary medical measures. However, the state could still enact limited regulations on abortion for compelling health reasons, so long as they don't interfere with the woman's ultimate decision.
In simpler terms, the initiative aims to:
- Protect abortion access up to a specific point in pregnancy.
- Limit state interference in abortion decisions before that point.
- Allow some health-related regulations as long as they respect women's choices.
This amendment, if passed, would significantly impact abortion access and regulations in Arizona.
