Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has approved a bill that codifies an existing executive order related to abortion that blocks prosecutions for out-of-state residents who seek the procedure and in-state providers.
The rare move positions Nevada as one of the only Republican-led states to enact such pro-abortion policies. Despite identifying as “pro-life,” Lombardo pledged to honor the 1990 referendum vote that granted abortion up to 24 weeks in Nevada.
