Arizona voters will get to decide in November whether to add the right to an abortion to the state constitution.

The Arizona secretary of state’s office said Monday that it had certified 577,971 signatures — far above the required number that the coalition supporting the ballot measure had to submit in order to put the question before voters.

The coalition, Arizona for Abortion Access, said it is the most signatures validated for a citizens initiative in state history.

    You don’t seem to be very familiar with how the U.S. government works, so I will have to educate you:

    1. The president nominates the justice.
    2. One senator alone is not responsible for approving that nomination.
    3. Clarence Thomas alone couldn’t strike down Roe.

    I know you really want to blame Biden for this, but maybe do it after taking a basic civics course.

      misunderstood

      blaming Biden for being a lame duck politician for half a century who did not do anything to advance progress

        See, the problem with you claiming you aren’t blaming Biden for the end of Roe v. Wade is that you literally blamed him for ending it just a few comments above.

            The Roe v. Wade decision happened the same year Biden was elected to the senate.

            So based on your own argument, he was also responsible for abortion being legal for 50 years.

              was on shaky ground for fifty years because it was never put into law or properly defended

              Democrats never got a true hard on for codifying Roe v. Wade

              just say whatever it takes to get donations and votes

                That wasn’t a response to what I said.

                Based on your logic, Joe Biden is personally responsible for abortion being legalized in the United States.

                I’m sorry you don’t like your own logic.
