Arizona Supreme Court Rules That Ballot Information Pamphlet Can Call Fetuses “Unborn Human Beings”

The Associated Press reports:

An informational pamphlet for Arizona voters who will decide in the fall whether to guarantee a constitutional right to an abortion can refer to a fetus as an “unborn human being,” the state’s highest court ruled Wednesday.

The Arizona Supreme Court sided with Republican lawmakers over proponents of the ballot measure on abortion rights. The pamphlet gives voters information on ballot measures to help inform their choices.

Arizona House Speaker Ben Toma [photo], a Republican who co-chairs the group that drafted language for an analysis of the measure that will appear in the pamphlet, said it’s intended to help voters understand the current law.
