A key swing state this November, Arizona's become a battleground for abortion rights since the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Demonstrators hold signs as they rally during the Women's March in Washington, Oct. 8, 2022.PHOENIX -- In partnership with Women's Marches across the country, hundreds of Arizonans of all ages and races gathered with colorful signs outside the state capitol building Saturday to rally for abortion rights exactly one month before Election Day.
"We are on the razor's edge," said Kris Mayes, the Democratic candidate for attorney general. "The razor's edge of civility versus chaos, the razor's edge of democracy versus autocracy, the razor's edge of sanity versus instability, the razor's edge of women's reproductive freedom versus forced birth -- and we are not going down that road."
Until then, the Republican-led state legislature's new law prohibiting the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy is in place. "A lot of people are really fired up, especially with a lot of changes just like the overturning of Roe v. Wade, so many more people are involved in these elections," Connor Swenso, an 18-year-old high schooler who will be voting in their first election, told ABC News at the rally. "And they feel like there's a part of them that needs to be represented."
