Advocates of a constitutional right to abortion are asking a judge to override how Republican lawmakers have chosen to describe the ballot initiative to voters.
A lawsuit filed Wednesday charges that the GOP-dominated Legislative Council is violating state law by using the phrase "unborn human being'' in the summary of the measure the panel approved earlier this week. Andrew Gaona, attorney for Arizona for Abortion Access, is asking a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to instead substitute the word "fetus,'' the term he says is medically correct.
But the issue goes beyond science.
