Take Action

What to do now:

Ask Lydia if she will fight for abortion rights:

This legislator's position is unclear, and we must understand where they fall.

What to say:

Call or email their office to confirm their stance on this issue, and explain how important abortion rights are to you. When you get a response, we’d love to hear it so we can share it here.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Let them know that you are worried about the Supreme Court decision, and you noticed they did not make a statement in response.
  • Tell them why abortion rights are important to you. (If you have a personal story to share, that may be powerful.)
  • Ask them if they will fight to protect the right to an abortion.

“Our reproductive freedoms are under threat in Arizona. My opponent, who voted for fetal personhood legislation, jeopardizes our promise to protect these rights. When Democrats secure the majority, I'll fight to guarantee reproductive freedoms for all Arizonans.”

Vote yes on Proposition 139!

Arizonans deserve the freedom to make our own healthcare decisions. The Arizona Abortion Access Act is a proposed Constitutional amendment that would establish a fundamental right to abortion. It’s based on the very-Arizona idea that people have a right to individual autonomy, including in our healthcare decisions, without unnecessary government interference.
