Question 6

Right to Abortion Initiative

On the ballot

Nevada · November 2026 general election · Constitutional amendment · Election day November 3, 2026
Topics: Abortion and reproductive rights, Civil rights, Health care

In plain language

Question 6 would add a right to abortion to the Nevada Constitution, protecting the procedure until fetal viability — generally estimated at about 24 weeks — and after viability when a health practitioner determines it is needed to protect the patient's life or health. Before viability, the state could limit the right only for a compelling interest tied to the patient's health. Nevada statute already permits abortion through 24 weeks. Voters approved this amendment in 2024 with 64.4 percent; Nevada requires approval in two even-numbered election years, so it returns to the ballot on November 3, 2026.

What supporters and opponents say

These are summaries of arguments made by the named organizations, drawn from the sources listed below. They are their claims, not this site's, and this site takes no position on the measure.

What supporters say

  • Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, the PAC backing the amendment, says constitutional protection is needed because the existing 24-week standard rests on statute, which a future vote could change.
  • Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) describe the amendment as a response to national restrictions on abortion access following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
  • Supporters point to the 64.4 percent approval in 2024 as evidence of the measure's standing with Nevada voters.

What opponents say

  • Protect Our Girls, a PAC opposing the amendment, argues the measure goes further than the standard that applied under Roe v. Wade.
  • Students for Life Action Ballot PAC, Americans United for Life, and Priests for Life oppose the amendment.
  • Opponents note that abortion is already legal in Nevada under a voter-approved statute, and argue that constitutional language is harder to adjust if unintended consequences emerge.
