Nevada legislature passes abortion protections

Published



The Nevada assembly passed a measure to roll back abortion restrictions Tuesday, sending the bill to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak.

The bill removes criminal penalties for women who take abortion-inducing drugs or perform abortions on themselves. The bill also reverses a requirement that physicians explain “the physical and emotional implications” before preforming abortions. Instead, they will be required only to describe the procedure itself and what it entails.
