SJR7 would amend the Nevada Constitution to establish a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” which entails, but is not limited to, “abortion,” “tubal ligation,” “vasectomy,” and “birth control.”
The Assembly passed SJR7 on May 10, 2023, by a vote of 28 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Nevada ought to forbid the practice of abortion, along with other grotesque methods of population control, entirely and uphold the sanctity of life for every person, especially preborn children. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
