PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A measure that would add an amendment to the state constitution making abortion a “fundamental right” has enough signatures to get on the ballot.

State officials confirmed on Monday that supporters of the Arizona Abortion Access Act got 577,971 signatures, roughly 50% more than the 383,923 signatures needed.

It’ll be on the ballot as Proposition 139.

It is the most signatures ever validated by a citizen’s initiative in state history, supporters said.

“This is a huge win for Arizona voters who will now get to vote YES on restoring and protecting the right to access abortion care, free from political interference, once and for all,” Cheryl Bruce, Arizona for Abortion Access campaign manager, said in an email.

Supporters said more than 40 organizations in Arizona have endorsed Prop 139.
