Arizona is one of ten states this November that will consider a ballot proposal to protect abortion rights. The state's voters will decide whether to enshrine the right to an abortion in their state constitution. The ballot measure, known as Proposition 139, would establish a fundamental right to abortion and prohibit state bans before fetal viability.
According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, 58 percent of the states likely voters support the initiative. Support for the measure runs across "the political spectrum" and the state's demographics, according to Chris Love, spokesperson for Arizona for Abortion Access, the group behind the effort to bring reproductive rights to the ballot. - Aired on 10/19/2024.

Religious scripture has no business in our constitution. The founding fathers warned us. Back to the States. States rights has always and forever meant only one thing - Slavery.
Electoral College. Religious Zealotry. Neither has a damned thing to do with democracy.

(229,768 posts)And this country was founded on "the separation of church and state." As for "states rights," we know exactly what that means and that's how Reagan was able to win the South over actual Southerner Jimmy Carter by starting his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, the site of the terrible murders of Civil Rights workers in 1964, signaling his support for states rights.
As for the outmoded Electoral College, this should have been retired a century ago, but it's kept alive by Republicans who have learned that that's the only way that they can "win," disenfranchising millions of American voters who comprised the popular vote. In other words - cheating.
