GOP nominee for Nevada governor says he'd fight a national abortion ban

The GOP's nominee for Nevada governor said Thursday he would fight against a national abortion ban if Congress were to pass one.
"It's the vote of the people within the state of Nevada, and I will support that," Joe Lombardo, who is generally anti-abortion, told reporters while campaigning in the state with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. "That is an issue that doesn't need to be in politics."
Nevada voters codified the right to abortion up to 24 weeks into law in a 1990 referendum. Any order to further restrict abortion would have to come from a vote of the people, not the state legislature, unlike in many other states.
Embattled aircraft giant Boeing Wednesday argued to the Justice Department that the company has upheld its end of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, and pushed back at federal prosecutors who wrote last month that the plane manufacturer has violated the deal and risked being prosecuted, two people familiar with the discussions confirmed to CBS News.
