State officials say that a measure to establish an abortion right in the Arizona constitution has received enough signatures to be placed on the ballot.

Arizona Secretary of state Adrian Fontes said Monday night that the measure had received approximately 577,971 signed certified. This is nearly 200,000 signatures more than was required for the measure to appear on November’s ballot. It also marks the highest number of signatures validated in the history of the state by a citizen initiative.

Cheryl Bruce said, “This is an enormous win for Arizona voters, who can now vote YES to restore and protect the right to abortion care without political interference once and for all.”

Bruce said that the Arizona for Abortion Access Act will appear on the ballot under the name “Proposition 139.

Arizona bans abortion after 15 weeks, except for medical reasons for the mother’s life. However, rape and incest are not covered. The amendment would allow abortions up to fetal viability. However, a doctor could make an exception if they deemed it necessary for the mother’s life or health.

Some legal issues are still unresolved.

Arizona Right to Life, an anti-abortion organization, initially filed a lawsuit to contest the signatures collected. The group retracted part of its lawsuit, but an appeal is still pending to challenge the 200-word summary on the petitions.

The ballot initiative campaign is also suing the state after a Republican-controlled panel of state lawmakers approved the inclusion of the phrase “unborn human being” in a voter summary pamphlet.

A court ruled that Arizona has the right to abortion access, but legislators have appealed this ruling to the state Supreme Court.

Fontes acknowledged in a video posted on social media, Monday, that he still faces legal challenges.

Fontes told the reporter that he would be signing a document to certify signatures.

He said that Arizona’s citizen-initiative process is “one of democracy’s purest forms, where citizens get to create their own laws.”

Fontes stated, “I’m excited to be able to certify this.”

Arizona is one of the key swing states, and a question about abortion rights on the November ballot could help energize Democratic voters.
