Abortion in Arizona

This page was last updated on June 24, 2024. 

Advocates are determined to get abortion rights on the November 2024 ballot despite ongoing threats to abortion access in Arizona.

Until voters have the opportunity to enshrine the right to abortion in the Arizona constitution, a 15-week ban and other restrictions will continue to burden patients and providers.

2024 has proven to be another difficult year for people who need abortion care and providers in Arizona. Already, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a pre-statehood, near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable, but a temporary stay is in effect until a legislture-approved repeal takes place on September 14, 2024.

Arizona voters understand that everyone deserves the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions, including when to start or grow their family. Now, more than ever, the opportunity to enshrine the right to abortion in our state’s constitution has never been more necessary. 

The ACLU of Arizona is committed to defending and expanding reproductive freedom and is a proud supporter of Arizona Abortion Access Act.

JOIN US: STAND UP AGAINST ABORTION BANS 

Abortion bans hurt all of us, and we must keep fighting to ensure full access to care.    

Arizonans have faced attacks to restrict abortion access for decades. Even before Roe v. Wade was overturned, state lawmakers passed many unnecessary restrictions on abortion that make this form of healthcare less safe and disproportionately impact the same people who have always faced systemic barriers to care — communities of color, people living on low-incomes, undocumented immigrants, young people, the LGBTQ+ community, and people with disabilities.   

The ACLU of Arizona is committed to working with impacted communities, partners, and allies to protect comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion. We will continue to fight in the courts, in statehouses, in Congress, at the ballot box, and in communities across the state until everyone can access safe, affordable, and reliable care that is free from stigma.
