Question 6 - the Nevada Reproductive Rights Amendment What You Should Know

The Proposed Nevada State Amendment

If passed in 2026,Nevada’s Constitution will recognize an abortion as a fundamental right equal to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It allows that an abortion may performed by any “healthcare practitioner,” a term defined in Nevada Revised Statute (NRS439A.0195). Practitioner includes “dentist, licensed nurse, dispensing optician, optometrist, registered physical therapist, podiatrist physician, licensed psychologist, chiropractic physician, doctor of Oriental medicine in any form, medical laboratory director or technician, pharmacist or other person whose principal occupation is the provision of services for health.” This right is protected “without interference from the state or its political subdivisions” endangering common sense health and safety regulations that protect women.
