AZ Governor Hobbs endorses Arizona Abortion Access Act

Last edited Thu Nov 30, 2023, 05:23 PM - Edit history (1)

With the flourish of a pen on Tuesday morning, Gov. Katie Hobbs declared her support for an initiative that has the potential to enshrine abortion access in the state constitution.

Sitting directly in front of the Arizona Pioneer Women Memorial — the only memorial at the state Capitol honoring women — Hobbs added her signature to a petition form for the Arizona Abortion Access Act. The initiative aims to restore the right to abortion in Arizona, which is currently banned beyond 15 weeks unless a patient’s life is in danger. If the act meets the required signature threshold of 383,923, it will then head to the November 2024 ballot to be decided by Arizona voters.

A spokesperson for the Arizona for Abortion Access campaign said signature gathering efforts have been scaled up since their start in September, and are on track to hit the collection goal by the July 2024 deadline.
