Nevada voters approve measure to enshrine abortion rights in state constitution

Nevada voters have approved a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. This is the first step, as the measure must be approved again in 2026 to take effect. The initiative was organized by Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which gathered enough signatures to place the question on the ballot. Currently, a state law allows abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. Supporters aim to strengthen abortion access following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Associated Press confirmed the approval early Wednesday morning.
