Constitutional ‘Right to Abortion’ on Nevada Ballot This Fall
The 2026 midterm elections are quickly approaching and voters in four states will have an abortion measure on the ballot. One of those states is Nevada.
Nevada voters will cast a second and final vote on Question 6, the “Right to Abortion Amendment.”
A “Yes” vote creates a constitutional “right” to abortion in the state. A “No” vote would help save babies’ lives.
Nevada law requires voters to approve a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment in two consecutive general elections before it takes effect.
Nevadans approved this language in 2024 by a vote of 64% to 35%. If it passes again on November 3, it becomes part of the Nevada Constitution on November 24, 2026.
If approved, Question 6 would add the following language to the Nevada Constitution:
The amendment goes on to say that fetal viability, a baby’s ability to survive outside the womb, would be based solely on the judgment of the abortionist. That opens the door to abortions in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. And because the amendment allows abortion at any point when a provider says it is needed for the woman’s “health,” there is no clear limit at all.
Protect Our Girls, the campaign to defeat Question 6, explains that this amendment would:
- Allow abortions into the ninth month of pregnancy on healthy babies who feel pain.
- Eliminate safety standards that protect women from abortion complications.
- Remove parental notification on abortions for minors, allowing boyfriends and predators to pressure a girl into an abortion.
Pre-born babies can feel pain before viability, at 15 weeks or earlier. Under Question 6, babies who can experience pain would be subjected to painful late-term abortions.
Nevada already has one of the most liberal abortion laws in the nation. State law allows abortion during the first 24 weeks of a preborn baby’s life. Question 6 pushes that limit out even further, based on the abortionist’s judgment.
Supporters will tell voters that since abortion is already legal in Nevada, Question 6 changes little. They’re wrong.
A statute can be debated and improved over time. A constitutional amendment is designed to be permanent, and it would make future protections for babies, women and families much harder to pass or defend.
The campaign behind Question 6 is led by Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom. According to Ballotpedia and The Nevada Independent, supporters include Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, Reproductive Freedom for All, the ACLU of Nevada, and the Feminist Majority Foundation.
Opposing the measure are two political action committees, Protect Our Girls and Students for Life Action Ballot PAC, along with national pro-life groups Americans United for Life and Priests for Life.
The money gap between the measure’s opponents and supporters is enormous. Ballotpedia reports that supporters poured more than $13.2 million into passing Question 6 in 2024, while no money was reported on the opposing side.
This year, Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom has raised more than $815,000 so far, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Nevada secretary of state.
By comparison, Protect Our Girls has raised $10,000, all from two Carson City donors. Students for Life Action Ballot PAC has raised about $1,700.
The next campaign finance reports are due mid-October.
Bible-believing, pro-life Christians in Nevada cannot sit this one out. We encourage Nevadans to please vote, pray and talk to family, friends and neighbors about this important measure.
Early voting in Nevada begins October 17. Election Day is November 3.
And remember to vote for candidates who align with your Christian values this fall.
