Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Matt how important abortion rights are to you:

This legislator has made their anti-choice position clear. They intend to enact laws that would further limit access to abortion.

What to say:

Call your legislator to share how important abortion rights are to you. While you're on the phone, try to gain a deeper understanding of their exact position.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why abortion rights are important to you.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask which abortion restrictions they are pushing for.

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.

Review Bill

“Today, the Arizona House acted on a bipartisan basis to repeal our state's territorial abortion law that is unworkable and out of line with the values of Arizonans. As someone who is both Pro-Life and the product of strong women in my life, I refuse to buy into the false notion pushed by the extremes on both sides of this issue that we cannot respect and protect women and defend new life at the same time.”

“Arizonans want us to find common ground on the important issue of abortion. We must repeal the Territorial Ban and return to the more reasonable 15-week policy that protects women and new life. That's where I stand.”
