An Arizona judge has upheld a proposed ballot measure that seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, dismissing challenges from the anti-abortion group Arizona Right to Life. The group argued that the language of the amendment was misleading, but Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Melissa Julian ruled that it accurately conveyed the measure's provisions. Arizona for Abortion Access, which gathered over 820,000 signatures to support the initiative, celebrated the ruling, stating it reinforced the legitimacy of their campaign. Meanwhile, the group has also requested the recusal of Supreme Court Justice Bill Montgomery from a related case due to his prior anti-abortion statements. If passed, the amendment would restore abortion rights in Arizona to the standards that existed prior to the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Appeals from Arizona Right to Life are anticipated as legal battles continue over the measure ahead of the November ballot.
