Nevada advances proposal to enshrine abortion rights into state constitution

Associated Press  

CARSON CITY, Nev. — Nevada lawmakers on Wednesday passed a joint resolution that would codify reproductive rights — including already-existing abortion access up to 24 weeks — into the state constitution. If passed, the resolution would provide the highest level of state protection for not only abortion rights, but also other reproductive access, including postpartum and prenatal care, as well as birth control. “Decisions about our health care, especially our reproductive health care, should be between a doctor, a patient, and those they trust.” Since last year’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized the right to an abortion, more than a dozen states have effectively outlawed abortion and others have moved to further tighten abortion laws, including neighboring Utah and Idaho. Republican Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant said she would be in favor of splitting the resolution into two proposals — one with abortion protections outlined in the 1990 referendum vote and another with the other reproductive protections — but would ultimately vote against the measure.
