Prop 139 Victory

Phoenix, Ariz. (Nov. 5, 2024) — Arizona voters have made history once again. Proposition 139 was overwhelmingly approved, guaranteeing Arizonans the fundamental right to abortion. Arizona for Abortion Access, the proud coalition behind Proposition 139, celebrated the decisive victory Tuesday night surrounded by hundreds of volunteers.

Chris Love, Spokesperson, YES on 139 and Senior Advisor to Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, said: “What we started in the fall of 2022, we finished tonight. A fundamental right to abortion is part of the Arizona Constitution once and for all. Next time the nation wonders how much government interference in reproductive healthcare is acceptable, or what type of arbitrary abortion ban is popular, they can look at Arizona and know the answer is 'none'.”

Arizona for Abortion Access is a coalition of reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations working to ensure Arizonans can make the decisions that are best for them and their families — free from government interference. This ballot committee is supported by the ACLU of Arizona, Affirm Sexual and Reproductive Health, Arizona List, Healthcare Rising Arizona, Reproductive Freedom for All, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona. Together, we represent hundreds of thousands of Arizonans in every community and from every walk of life.

We've worked closely with these partners to protect and expand abortion access over the years. This amendment will protect abortion access in Arizona and ensure every person can make this deeply personal decision with dignity.

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona proudly partnered with Brick Road Coffee, Toasted Mallow, and Antigone Books to launch Arizona for Abortion Access petition hubs. These partnership hubs supported critical logistical aspects of the campaign and also acted as an educational space, raising awareness about abortion access and the specific objectives of the ballot initiative.
