AZ’s Top Court Allows GOP to Describe Fetuses as “Unborn Human Beings” on Ballot Measure Pamphlet

HeadlineAug 16, 2024

Arizona’s Supreme Court ruled the state’s Republican-controlled Legislative Council can use the phrase “unborn human beings” to refer to embryos and fetuses in an informational pamphlet for voters about a November ballot measure that seeks to enshrine abortion access in Arizona’s Constitution. The group Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona said, “This decision is beyond disgraceful. … But no matter what type of dirty tricks they try to pull to slow down our momentum, we know Arizonans will show up and vote for their freedoms this November.”
