Arizona mom shares why state's abortion rights vote hits close to home
A San Tan Valley resident explains her support for Arizonaʼs abortion-rights ballot measure after her own medical emergency. Her story connects personal health with state-wide voting rights
In early october‚ Emily Jones got her mail-in ballot and knew exactly how sheʼd vote on Arizonaʼs abortion-rights amendment: she would support it with no doubts
The San Tan Valley mother (whoʼs now 27) has a deeply-personal reason for her choice — about two years ago‚ she faced a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy; the only treatment was to end it. “Getting that medical care saved my life“ she explains
The 2022 supreme court decision that changed abortion laws across america made her feel uneasy: it seemed like womens healthcare was moving backwards in time. Her experience with pregnancy complications showed her first-hand why medical choices matter; now shes ready to vote on protecting these rights in arizonaʼs constitution
