Abortion rights measure wins in Nevada,
fails in South Dakota
Voters in Nevada have approved a ballot question that will set the stage to further protect abortion rights in the state,
though a similar effort in South Dakota failed, the Associated Press reports.
The measure in red state South Dakota would have restored the protections of Roe v Wade, which was overturned by the supreme court two years ago.
It was rejected by 61% of voters, with 39% voting in favor.
Nevada’s measure was a bit more complicated.
It will enshrine a right to abortion in the swing state’s constitution,
but voters must approve it again in 2026.
Abortions are already accessible in the state up until 24 weeks of pregnancy,
with exceptions to protect the life or health of a mother.
