“Every Arizonan should have the freedom to make decisions about their bodies, their lives and their futures,” said Chris Love, senior advisor for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona. “We know the work for achieving reproductive freedom is an uphill battle, and this ballot initiative is the next critical step in our renewed drive to protect the health and freedom of our patients and our communities.
“This initiative will bring together a vast coalition of Arizonans from across the state who will stand up and declare that we should be able to make our own healthcare decisions without interference from politicians,” said Arizona for Abortion Access chair Dr. Candace Lew.
