A pro-abortion group is looking to amend the Arizona Constitution to ensure that abortion is recognized as a right, which critics say will include “barbaric partial-birth abortion.”

The group, called Arizona for Abortion Access, launched the petition on Sept. 21, aiming to put the issue on the ballot next year. The Arizona Abortion Access Act would enshrine abortion as a fundamental right in the state’s constitution.
