Abortion measure projected to pass in Arizona
ABC News projects that Arizona's measure protecting access to abortion will pass. The measure establishes a constitutional right to abortion until viability, with exceptions for later pregnancies.
After Roe v. Wade fell, Arizona's 1864-era law banning abortions almost entirely went into effect, until it was challenged in the courts and the state legislature ultimately repealed it, passing a law banning abortions after 15 weeks. Except Florida, where a measure failed tonight, every post-Roe abortion rights amendment has passed. And most Americans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
Measures are also projected to pass in Colorado, Maryland and New York, and we're watching for results in six other states.
