Arizona GOP's Plan to Undermine Abortion Rights on the Ballot
TL;DR
Arizona GOP legislators are considering pushing alternative ballot measures to compete with a proposed constitutional amendment expanding abortion rights in the state, following a state Supreme Court ruling upholding a near-total abortion ban. A leaked PowerPoint presentation outlines a plan to present voters with options for other constitutional amendments, including stricter abortion bans, in an effort to show that "Republicans have a plan." The document also suggests strategies to counter the proposed abortion-rights amendment and outlines contingencies for different approaches to the ballot measures.
