The constitutional amendment took effect on November 25, 2024. Accordingly, Arizonans now have a constitutional right to access abortion care.Arizona Proposition 139, the Right to Abortion Initiative, was on the ballot in Arizona as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 5, 2024. Arizona voters have elected to change the state's constitution, making it a "fundamental right" to allow abortions up to 2224 weeks of pregnancy. Today's ruling does not change that: women cannot and will not be prosecuted for receiving an abortion. Proposition 139 will amend the state constitution to guarantee abortions access up to the point of fetal viability around 24 weeks. Arizona law currently allows for abortions up until 15 weeks of pregnancy. Proposition 139, however, would go far beyond even this current law. Arizona voters' approval of a measure that expands abortion access from 15 weeks to the point of fetal viability was certified Monday. Voters in Arizona will decide in November whether to amend the state constitution to add the right to an abortion up to about 24 weeks into pregnancy.
