PHOENIX, Ariz. – SBA Pro-Life America released the following statement in response to the passage of Proposition 139 in Arizona.

“We mourn the lives that will be lost under the pro-abortion amendment, Proposition 139,” said SBA Pro-Life America Western Regional Director Adam Schwend. “Arizona is now far less free with a late-term abortion amendment in the constitution that will enable the ACLU and abortion industry to strip Arizonans of parental consent and force them to pay for abortions. The disappointing results are a reminder that in ballot fights, millions of dollars used to lie and fear-monger can buy the abortion industry a win. The abortion industry was able to run a deceptive campaign devoid of the truth by outspending the pro-life side by a 26:1 ratio.

“We’re thankful for the bold voices and tireless efforts of the It Goes Too Far coalition in Arizona. Their dedication to serving Arizona women and saving children was on full display. They labored in love to save their state from this terrible outcome, spending countless hours sharing the truth about the ACLU’s radical amendment. Our hearts go out to the babies, women and parents in Arizona whose rights have been stripped away by this radical measure.”

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
