With over 577,000 signatures verified, Arizona will put abortion rights on the ballot

Arizona voters will get to decide in November whether to add the right to an abortion to the state constitution.

The Arizona secretary of state’s office said Monday that it had certified 577,971 signatures — far above the required number that the coalition supporting the ballot measure had to submit in order to put the question before voters.

The coalition, Arizona for Abortion Access, said it is the most signatures validated for a citizens initiative in state history.

They better not vote republican or it won’t matter.

If Trump wins it’s a nationwide ban, as well as a dictatorship

    By a Supreme Court decision. A decision that was only possible after trump was able to choose three conservative justices.

    Biden isn’t on the Supreme Court. He has no hand in the fall of Roe vs. Wade

    Please tell us which of the following people Joe Biden put on the Supreme Court in the four years he’s been president:

    Clarence Thomas
    John Roberts
    Samuel Alito
    Neil Gorsuch
    Brett Cavanaugh
    Amy Coney Barrett

    How many of those did he put on the court during his presidency? It must have been a lot of them for it to be his fault Roe was struck down.

    During Clarence Thomas’s nomination hearings in 1991, Biden’s questions on constitutional issues were often convoluted to the point that Thomas sometimes lost track of them,[115] and Thomas later wrote that Biden’s questions were akin to “beanballs”.[116] After the committee hearing closed, the public learned that Anita Hill, a University of Oklahoma law school professor, had accused Thomas of making unwelcome sexual comments when they had worked together.[117][118] Biden had known of some of these charges, but initially shared them only with the committee because Hill was then unwilling to testify.[16] The committee hearing was reopened and Hill testified, but Biden did not permit testimony from other witnesses, such as a woman who had made similar charges and experts on harassment.[119] The full Senate confirmed Thomas by a 52–48 vote, with Biden opposed.[16] Liberal legal advocates and women’s groups felt strongly that Biden had mishandled the hearings and not done enough to support Hill.[119] In 2019, he told Hill he regretted his treatment of her, but Hill said afterward she remained unsatisfied.[120]

    During his early years in the Senate, Biden focused on consumer protection and environmental issues and called for greater government accountability.[82] In a 1974 interview, he described himself as liberal on civil rights and liberties, senior citizens’ concerns and healthcare, but conservative on other issues, including abortion and military conscription.[83]

    Biden is the same now as he has always been

    when has he ever tried to defend women’s rights

    You don’t seem to be very familiar with how the U.S. government works, so I will have to educate you:

    1. The president nominates the justice.
    2. One senator alone is not responsible for approving that nomination.
    3. Clarence Thomas alone couldn’t strike down Roe.

    I know you really want to blame Biden for this, but maybe do it after taking a basic civics course.

    misunderstood

    blaming Biden for being a lame duck politician for half a century who did not do anything to advance progress

    See, the problem with you claiming you aren’t blaming Biden for the end of Roe v. Wade is that you literally blamed him for ending it just a few comments above.

    The Roe v. Wade decision happened the same year Biden was elected to the senate.

    So based on your own argument, he was also responsible for abortion being legal for 50 years.

    verdantbanana ,
    @verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

    was on shaky ground for fifty years because it was never put into law or properly defended

    Democrats never got a true hard on for codifying Roe v. Wade

    just say whatever it takes to get donations and votes

    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    That wasn’t a response to what I said.

    Based on your logic, Joe Biden is personally responsible for abortion being legalized in the United States.

    I’m sorry you don’t like your own logic.

    What a deeply disingenuous claim to make. You must write the headlines for NewsMax and the NatPo - gotta spin that spin until we fall over dizzy.

    A reminder that the courts can still try and screw this up and have a history of trying to overturn citizen initiatives. so on your ballot also be sure to vote to not retain the judges when you vote this November if you’re in Arizona.

    I used to maintain a list of every time the Republicans of Arizona attempted to stop voter initiatives after they’d been successfully passed.

    Tried to stop legalizing medical marijuana by suing

    Tried to stop the creation of an independent commission for drawing districts by suing. They’ve taken the commission to court on at least five separate occasions and lost (using taxpayer money of course)

    Initiative to pay teachers more was dismantled and never took place

    That’s just the top of my head. They also famously made voter initiatives harder to pass. But people still vote for them

    Worth noting, this is exactly how gay marriage was legalized nationwide.
