Should Nevada write abortion rights into the state constitution? (Question 6)

Question 6 on Nevada's November 3, 2026 ballot would establish a state constitutional right to abortion until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the patient's life or health. Nevada statute already permits abortion up to 24 weeks under a 1990 voter referendum, which the Legislature cannot change without another public vote. Supporters say the amendment would lock existing protections into the constitution; opponents say its language goes further than current law. Voters approved it 64-36 in 2024; this is the second, final vote. Where do you stand?

Weigh in

The case for

Supporters argue that after Dobbs there is no federal backstop, and that a constitutional right is the strongest protection available - binding future legislatures, agencies, and courts, and repealable only if voters approve a new amendment in two successive elections.

The case against

Opponents argue Nevada's abortion law is already among the country's most protective and was unchanged by Dobbs, and warn the amendment's broad language could go beyond locking in the status quo - potentially blocking health-and-safety regulations and permanently foreclosing parental notification for minors, which courts are still deciding whether Nevada may enforce.
