Nevada Abortion Law Post-Dobbs
The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) affirmatively protect the right to abortion to 24 weeks of pregnancy; abortion after 24 weeks is permitted if necessary to protect the mother’s life or health. (NRS 442.250.) Prior laws criminalizing certain actions relating to the termination of a pregnancy were removed from the books in 2019, when the Nevada legislature passed Senate Bill 179, the Trust Nevada Women Act. The Act, which amended several statutes, also removed burdensome informed consent laws and several other barriers to accessing abortion in Nevada.
