Strategists on both sides of the abortion debate are gearing up to make Arizona the next center of the fight over the contentious issue.
The efforts in the swing state could have big impacts on other contests on the 2024 ballot, including a key U.S. Senate election, control of the U.S. House and the race for the White House. President Biden won the state by just 10,000 votes out of more than 3 million cast in 2020, the first time the state voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1996.
Abortion initiatives have proved to be major voter mobilizers since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in 2022. Voters in a politically diverse group of states like Ohio, Montana, Kentucky and Michigan turned out in 2022 and 2023 elections to vote down efforts that would limit abortion and pass measures that protect increased access.

I moved down here to Arizona last year. Politically, this is a mixed-up state. I fear the abortion issues is going to get ugly.
