Reasonable people can have different opinions …
One of the hottest topics this election year is abortion. Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the states must decide how to move forward on this sensitive subject. What will Arizona do?
Circulators are promoting a citizen’s initiative right now for the 2024 ballot in November. You may have seen them, and you may have already signed one of their petitions. Do you know what you’ve signed? Find out exactly what the proposed language is and how this initiative will impact women’s health and safety if it is codified in Arizona’s Constitution.
The proposed amendment goes much further than “codifying Roe” in Arizona’s Constitution. The March 13 meeting features a special keynote presentation by Senator Nancy Barto (ret.) with the “It Goes Too Far” campaign. Senator Barto and her husband Joe raised three daughters, and Nancy has a mom’s heart for women. Reasonable people can have different opinions on abortion, but does this proposed amendment go too far?
