Arizona has a measure on the fall ballot establishing a state constitutional right to an abortion. Ballot measure informational pamphlets are supposed to be “impartial.” In their text for the pamphlet, Republican lawmakers used the term “unborn human beings.” The Arizona Supreme Court said that language met the requirements of “impartiality.”
The Arizona Supreme Court is Republican. But I’ll bet you guessed that.
