"The initiative here does not require an appropriation or expenditure of money by its plain language and does not require the State to pay for or provide abortions."
Reno, NV – In case you missed it, yesterday the Nevada Supreme Court poked a massive hole in the opponents of Question 6’s primary argument against the amendment. The Court, in a ruling upholding the question’s ballot language, stated that despite opponents’ claims, "the initiative here does not require an appropriation or expenditure of money by its plain language and does not require the State to pay for or provide abortions."
This a crystal clear rebuttal to opponents’ shameless attempts to lie to Nevada voters about the impact of Question 6. In the state’s official guide to November’s ballot questions, opponents misleadingly claimed that the amendment will cause Nevadans to “spend millions of dollars to fund abortions.”
“It is shameful that opponents are willing to blatantly lie to Nevada voters to defeat a ballot initiative that will give Nevadans what they deserve - the right to make their own private, personal healthcare decisions,” said Lindsey Harmon, president of Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom. “Nevadans overwhelmingly support keeping decisions about abortion between women, their loved ones, and their medical providers without the interference of politicians, and that is exactly what Question 6 will protect.”
