QUESTION 6 - THE TRUTH
QUESTION 6 Issues
Q6 IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUNG GIRLS
Parents should be involved in all medical decisions of their minor children. Question 6 will permanently remove parental involvement before an abortion is performed on a child, at a moment when she needs her mom and dad most. Secret abortions protect predators and sex traffickers allowing them to destroy the evidence and return their victims to abuse.
Q6 IS EXTREME
Nevada already allows abortion up to 6 months for any reason.
Only a vote of the people can change this.
Question 6 legalizes 7th, 8th, and even 9th month abortions on healthy moms with healthy babies.
Q6 PROTECTs PREDATORS
QUESTION 6 protects predators who
force women and girls into
unwanted abortions.
Q6 IS RISKY FOR WOMEN
Right now, Nevada requires licensed physicians, doctors, to perform abortions. Question 6 replaces this requirement with “healthcare practitioners” defined in NRS as nurses (even school nurses), dentists, opticians, pharmacy techs, and more.
Abortion is not without risk.
Women deserve doctors, not practitioners.
Question 6 removes the state’s ability to regulate, or even inspect, abortion facilities for health, safety and sanitation standards, leaving nail salons and veterinary clinics safer than abortion clinics.
READ THE
AMENDMENT
& SEE
“All individuals [Regardless of age, will eliminate parental involvement. Regardless of sex, what’s a man’s right to abortion? Judges will decide] shall have a fundamental right to abortion [protecting abortion at the level of freedom of speech, religion, and press] performed or administered by a qualified health care practitioner [no longer a doctor, can be a school nurse, dental hygienist and more, see NRS 439A.0195] until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the life or health [life or health exception already exists in Nevada law] of the pregnant patient, without interference from the state or its political subdivisions. [Regulation and inspection of abortion clinics disallowed.] The right established by this section shall not be denied, burdened, or infringed upon unless justified by a compelling state interest that is achieved by the least restrictive means.
Sec. 2. As used in this section: A “compelling state interest” means an interest which is limited exclusively to the state’s interest in protecting, maintaining, or improving the health of an individual who is seeking abortion care that is consistent with accepted clinical standards of practice; and “Fetal viability” [eliminates current 24 weeks/6 months fetal viability standard] means the point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient's treating health care practitioner, [abortionist] there is a significant likelihood of the fetus' sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures [In non-hospital settings, letting a profit-driven abortion provider define ‘extraordinary medical measures’ leaves late-term babies—7th to 9th month—without real protection.]

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Question 6 is a proposed amendment to the Nevada Constitution that would establish an unlimited right to abortion performed by non-doctors in unregulated clinics throughout all nine months of pregnancy – even when the heartbeat of the pre-born child is detected, when the pre-born child can experience pain, and when the child is capable of living outside the womb.
-
Question 6 passed the first ballot hurdle on the November 5, 2024 ballot. To change the constitution, it must pass with 50% + 1 of the electorate in November of 2026.
-
If Question 6 does not pass, a doctor-performed abortion would still be legal in Nevada up to six months, and after six months in a licensed hospital to protect the life or health of the mother. Current laws that protect the safety of women would remain in effect.
-
There is a fundamental difference between an elective abortion and the care provided after a miscarriage or for ectopic pregnancies. Question 6 will have no effect on the care a pregnant woman receives in an emergency. Women can always receive necessary and timely lifesaving medical treatment, including in Catholic hospitals. No law restricts this care in Nevada.
-
Nevada has permissive abortion laws that were unchanged by the overturn of Roe v Wade. Question 6 goes dangerously beyond what was permitted in the Roe v. Wade ruling and what a majority of Nevadans want. It would eliminate important health and safety measures that protect women, remove parental notification for any minor seeking an abortion, and allow for abortion through the third trimester of pregnancy.
-
Because they are currently regulated by Nevada law and must be done in a hospital, they are rare. Nevada law currently allows late-term abortions to preserve the life or health of the mother. If Question 6 passes, its broad loopholes would allow non-physicians to cite minor, treatable conditions to justify abortions, and there would be many more late-term abortions in Nevada.
