GOP's nominee for Nevada governor says he would oppose national abortion limits if passed by Congress
Fox News
GOP's nominee for Nevada governor says he will fight a national abortion ban if congress decides to pass one. A nationwide abortion limit would supersede Nevada law.
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.
Earlier this week, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham proposed a near-total abortion ban after 15 weeks. The legislation undermined many GOP candidates’ arguments this summer that the future of abortion rights in the U.S. would be decided by individual states.
