July 3 (UPI) -- Pro-abortion organizers have gathered sufficient numbers of valid signatures to advance ballot initiatives in Arizona and Nebraska.
Supporters of the proposed Arizona Abortion Access Act announced they gathered 823,685 signatures with several weeks remaining before the state's Aug. 22 deadline to submit ballot petitions.
"We will be turning in the most signatures ever collected by a citizen-led effort here in the state of Arizona," Arizona for Abortion Access spokesperson Dawn Penich told local media Wednesday.
The number of signatures are significantly more than the 383,923 valid signatures required to qualify for Arizona's Nov. 5 election ballot.
