Right to Reproductive Health Care Act  |  AB383

AB383 establishes the “Right to Reproductive Health Care Act,” which, among other provisions, prevents a governmental entity from limiting access to “reproductive health services, drugs, or devices” and allows Medicaid to cover “voluntary sterilization” for men as well as women.

The Senate passed AB383 on June 5, 2023, by a vote of 16 to 5. 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.

Expanding Medicaid to Cover Postpartum Care  |  SB232

SB232 extends Medicaid coverage to include postpartum care services for up to 12 months.      

The Assembly passed SB232 on June 3, 2023, by a vote of 41 to 1. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, as with many other ‘entitlement programs,’ discriminatorily and unjustly provides “eligible” low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, with government “benefits” (i.e., funds) at the expense of other hard-working citizens. Nevada must reject the use of taxpayer money for this ever-expanding and unsustainable Federal-State program that is not authorized under Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.

Expanding Medicaid to Cover Postpartum Care  |  SB232

SB232 extends Medicaid coverage to include postpartum care services for up to 12 months.      

The Senate passed SB232 on May 29, 2023, by a vote of 20 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, as with many other ‘entitlement programs,’ discriminatorily and unjustly provides “eligible” low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, with government “benefits” (i.e., funds) at the expense of other hard-working citizens.

State-Mandated Kindergarten  |  AB65

AB65 requires each child to begin attending public school at 6 years of age, instead of 7 years of age.

The Senate passed AB65 on May 26, 2023, by a vote of 15 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained by—his or her parents. Forcing the citizens of Nevada to hand over more of their hard-earned tax dollars to further support a compulsory, government-run, and failing K-12 school system violates their individual liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14^th Amendment. 

Aiding and Abetting Sex Mutilation  |  SB302

SB302 prohibits state and local officials from taking certain actions against persons who provide or assist in the provision of “gender-affirming health care services.”

The Assembly passed SB302 on May 25, 2023, by a vote of 28 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no person has a right to abuse a child using the pretext of LGBTQ+ ideology. Sex mutilation against minor children violates their unalienable right to life and limb, as it absurdly attempts to erase their biological characteristics with fictional “gender” constructs. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the States have a duty to defend the humanity of all people—male and female—who, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, are created by God and form the basis of individual and family self-government.

National Popular Vote Compact  |  AJR6

AJR6 proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to adopt the National Popular Vote Compact.

The Senate passed AJR6 on May 18, 2023, by a vote of 12 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the National Popular Vote (NVP) movement is an attack on the Electoral College—the constitutional, federal, and republican process whereby the States choose the President and Vice President of the United States, rather than Congress or the people directly. Designed by the American Founders, the Electoral College is a key component of our “checks and balances” system that protects the various interests but co-equal sovereignty among the several States, ensuring each has fair representation and an influential role in deciding one of the most important decisions the country makes. Given that the States created a limited national government, the Electoral College functions as a decentralizing safeguard for individual rights and liberty from the “dangers of democracy” (e.g., the modern popular vote or winner-takes-all system), which threaten to result in a “tyranny of the majority” or an “elective despotism.” Nevertheless, the NVP Compact legislation to change our presidential elections should be rejected as fraudulent. Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution prohibits interstate compacts from being formed “without the consent of Congress.” In addition, Article V provides that only Congress may propose or call a convention for proposing amendments that “shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of [the] Constitution.”

Restricting Gun Ownership for Adults Under 21  |  AB355

AB355 makes it illegal for a person who is less than 21 years of age to possess a “semiautomatic shotgun” or “semiautomatic centerfire rifle.”

The Senate passed AB355 on May 15, 2023, by a vote of 12 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill increases Nevada’s broad and blatantly unconstitutional firearms restrictions, which erode the rights of law-abiding adult gun owners. The Second Amendment expressly declares that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” without exception on account of age. Moreover, the Bill of Rights and the 14^th Amendment, in conjunction with the 26^th Amendment, prevent “any State” from depriving or denying “any person,” such as “citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older,” of their “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

‘Right to Abortion’ in the Nevada Constitution    |  SJR7

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.

AB65 requires each child to begin attending public school at 6 years of age, instead of 7 years of age.

The Assembly passed AB65 on April 25, 2023, by a vote of 31 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained by—his or her parents. Forcing the citizens of Nevada to hand over more of their hard-earned tax dollars to further support a compulsory, government-run, and failing K-12 school system violates their individual liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14^th Amendment.

SB302 prohibits state and local officials from taking certain actions against persons who provide or assist in the provision of “gender-affirming health care services.”

The Senate passed SB302 on April 24, 2023, by a vote of 13 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no person has a right to abuse a child using the pretext of LGBTQ+ ideology. Sex mutilation against minor children violates their unalienable right to life and limb, as it absurdly attempts to erase their biological characteristics with fictional “gender” constructs.

The Assembly passed AB355 on April 21, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill increases Nevada’s broad and blatantly unconstitutional firearms restrictions, which erode the rights of law-abiding adult gun owners.

“All-Gender” Bathrooms  |  AB280

AB280 prohibits places of public accommodation from reserving a single-stall restroom for a specific gender, while authorizing signage for such a restroom that reads “All-Gender Bathroom” or “All-Accessible Bathroom.”

The Assembly passed AB280 on May 27, 2021, by a vote of 36 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all citizens, including private business owners, have a right — which the government has a duty to uphold — to protect both themselves and their children from obscene, indecent, or profane activity. This right is retained under and guaranteed by the 9th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

K-12 Public Education Funding Bill  |  SB458

SB458 provides funding for K-12 public education for the 2021-2023 biennium at a purported estimated average of $10,204 per pupil for FY 21-22 and $10,290 per pupil for FY 22-23.

The Assembly passed SB458 on May 26, 2021, by a vote of 41 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because education is not the legitimate object of government, but rather the responsibility of — and a fundamental right of choice retained by — a child’s parents or legal guardians. Forcing American citizens to furnish taxpayer money for a compulsory, government-run K-12 school system violates individual protections guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.

“No-Knock” Warrants  |  SB50

SB50 sets forth requirements concerning the issuance and execution of “no-knock” search warrants that are identical to those described in state law for “no-knock” arrest warrants.

The Senate passed SB50 on April 20, 2021, by a vote of 21 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because “no-knock” warrants undermine the rights of Americans protected specifically by the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. “No-knock” warrants, by definition, violate the basic principle that law enforcement should not forcibly enter a premises without first providing notice of their authority and purpose of executing a warrant.

Ending Policing-for-Profit  |  AB186

AB186 prohibits a law enforcement agency from requiring a peace officer to issue a certain number of traffic citations or make a certain number of arrests.

The Senate passed AB186 on May 20, 2021, by a vote of 15 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the purpose of state and local law enforcement is to protect life, liberty, and property, rather than unconstitutionally deprive citizens of their freedom or possessions through coercive means of taxation such as traffic citation or arrest quotas.

Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women  |  SJR11

SJR11 urges Congress to ratify the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This international treaty, among its other provisions, “affirms women’s right to reproductive choice” and stresses that “a change in the traditional role of men as well as the role of women in society and in the family is needed.”

The Assembly passed SJR11 on May 18, 2021, by a vote of 31 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because both states and Congress have a constitutional duty to secure the right to life for unborn persons, as well as other rights retained by the traditional family, which is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment. Moreover, the U.S. should rescind its membership in the United Nations, whose founding Charter undermines American national sovereignty by establishing a framework for expansive global governance towards a one-world state.

Equal Rights Amendment to the Nevada Constitution  |  SJR8

SJR8 proposes an “equality of rights” amendment to the Nevada Constitution to prohibit discrimination, including on the basis of “sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.”

The Assembly passed SJR8 on March 24, 2021, by a vote of 30 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because individual rights are natural, absolute, and unalienable endowments given to each person equally by God, not positive grants from the government subject to redefinition, particularly as result of impossible self-declarations such as “sexual orientation,  gender identity  or  expression.” This “equal rights” amendment exchanges the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence — and thereby abandons the principles of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights — for a contradictory, indeterminate, and unstable alternative that makes a mockery of civil liberties.
