Abortion in Arizona

Abortion in Arizona is legal up to the point of fetal viability, as a result of Arizona Proposition 139 being put into the Arizona state constitution. It is the southernmost continental state where abortion is broadly protected.

Abortion and religion have intersected in the state, particularly in the case of Sr. Margaret Mary McBride, R.S.M., a Sister of Mercy.

In a 2014 poll by Pew Research Center, 49% of Arizona adults said that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, with 47% saying it should be illegal in all or most cases. In a 2022 poll of 938 registered Arizona voters by OH Predictive Insights, 87% said they wanted abortion to remain legal in all or some cases.
