“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27)
Life is on the ballot in Nevada in the form of a pro-abortion ballot initiative called the “Nevada Reproductive Rights Amendment.” If passed, it would ensure that Nevada remains one of the most pro-abortion states in the nation.
A “no” vote prevents abortion from being enshrined into the constitution as a fundamental right. Nevada currently allows abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy.
A “yes” vote supports amending the Nevada Constitution to establish a “fundamental right to abortion” up until fetal viability to “protect” the life of the mother. Almost all abortions would be allowed under this amendment, including late-term abortions, and the only exception provided is in the event a preborn child is likely to survive outside the uterus without the need for “extraordinary medical measures.”
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.

What can Nevada Christians do to stand for life?
There are several ways you can promote a culture of life in Nevada:
- Pray for wisdom for Nevada voters, for the defeat of this amendment, and for a robust culture of life to take hold.
- Stand for life at the ballot. The amendment only needs 50% approval of voters to pass, so every vote against this measure counts in the effort to protect life.
- Educate others about the true nature of this proposal.
- Advocate by contacting your local representatives and encouraging them to stand firm in their defense of life.
- Support pro-life organizations by volunteering with or donating to those who are actively working to promote a culture of life in Nevada.
