This is gonna bring a lot of people to vote in November, and it will pass, bigly.

Not good news for Kari Lake and Don-Old.


A ballot measure that would create a right to an abortion in the Arizona Constitution appears poised for the November ballot after the state's election chief on Monday certified it had enough signatures to qualify.

Arizona for Abortion Access, the campaign backing the ballot measure, announced signature review had been completed and the Arizona Abortion Access Act would appear on the ballot as Proposition 139. That's withstanding any pending and forthcoming lawsuits, however.

“This is a huge win for Arizona voters who will now get to vote YES on restoring and protecting the right to access abortion care, free from political interference, once and for all,” Cheryl Bruce, Arizona for Abortion Access campaign manager, said in a statement.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes signed the formal paperwork required to put the act before voters after his office calculated the measure had an estimated 577,971 valid signatures.

It's about now that many Republicans are finally waking up to the fact that letting the religious fruit cakes hijack the Republican party to implement hugely unpopular legislation driven by their extreme minority beliefs might have been really, really, really dumb, and cost them BIGLY in Nov.

Uh oh.

That means there's going to be a huge turnout. And when people vote Republicans lose.

Yep, folks are not going to vote for reproductive rights then vote for the party that is trying to restrict them.

Reuben has been skewering Krazi Kari, she has shifted her opinion on abortion so many times. She was for locking up the doctors and the women, then she changed, and again, and again.

The commercials are hilariojs.
 
This is going to bring women voters to the polls in record numbers and they are not likely to be pro Trump voters! I think this will put AZ solidly in the blue box!

As history has shown, people tend to not like having their rights restricted.

Sure they will, but that group will be overwhelmingly left of center, so yeah.

Same!! While it's a shame women are forced once again to state their right to bodily autonomy thanks to MAGAs gift to religious extremists, I am grateful there's still a means to make our voices heard! Some aren't so lucky!

I bet it passes bigly!
