The battle for abortion access in Arizona is expected to play out at the ballot box in November. A coalition of abortion groups has been collecting signatures ahead of the July 4 deadline to get a measure for the ballot that would enshrine access to abortion in the Arizona Constitution.

On this week's The Briefing, learn about the efforts of prochoice volunteers and businesses to help collect at least 384,000 voter signatures before July. Also, hear from an opposing campaign from prolife advocates about their efforts to stop the initiative from getting on the November ballot.

The show, hosted by Arizona Republic reporter Rafael Carranza, explores news and issues through interviews with other reporters and newsmakers in a fast-paced, easy-to-digest format.
