Our call — vote NO
The measure
Question 6 is a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment on Nevada's November 3, 2026 ballot. It would add a constitutional right to abortion to Nevada law: abortion would be protected until fetal viability, and after viability whenever needed, in a provider's judgment, to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient. The amendment defines the state's compelling interest narrowly — essentially, an interest counts only if it protects, maintains, or improves the health of the person seeking the abortion, judged by accepted clinical standards. Because it is a constitutional amendment, Nevada voters approved it once already in 2024, by 64.36%, and it must pass again in 2026 to take effect.
What YES does
A yes vote completes ratification of a constitutional abortion right through viability, with a health exception after viability and a definition of state interest that forecloses most regulation.
What NO does
A no vote leaves Nevada's existing statutory abortion law in place — which already permits abortion broadly — without writing the right into the constitution.
The math
No fiscal note for this measure was published on its Ballotpedia page.
OUR CALL
Our call: NO.
Our position is that the law should protect life, and this amendment does the opposite at constitutional depth: it protects abortion to viability, adds a health exception broad enough to extend past it, and defines away the state's interest in protecting the unborn by declaring that the only compelling interest is the health of the person seeking the abortion. Statutes can be debated and amended as medicine and conscience evolve; a constitutional lock-in cannot. Vote no.
