Regarding putting Proposition 139 on the ballot:
- More than 820,000 people signed the petition to put the proposition on the ballot.
- 383,973 valid signatures are required to put it on the ballot.
- The legally required random sampling of signatures validated 577,971 signatures.
- Opponents say that an unspecified number of signers were “misled”.
Even if some signers did not completely understand what they were signing, I find it gravely insulting to Arizona voters to assume that many were so ill-informed that it justifies invalidating the whole process. More than 820,000 want the issue on the ballot!
Accept that fact that a majority of Arizonans support responsible and medically sound health care for women, including abortion.
