When the Supreme Court struck down a half-century of nationwide abortion rights in June, access to the procedure endured in Nevada, where Roe v. Wade's protections have been firmly embedded into state law for decades.

Two Nevada candidates for Congress Tuesday said they opposed a federal abortion ban bill proposed by South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. A third Republican in a competitive House seat did not respond to requests for comment, and nor did Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt.

Destinee G.’s period was late in February 2021. It wasn’t that abnormal. Until that year her menstrual cycle was irregular. But by the next month, she was taking two at-home pregnancy tests every two weeks. They were always negative. Friends, and the internet, told her testing negative early on in a pregnancy was normal. A blood test would be more accurate.

With the Supreme Court now overturning Roe vs. Wade, what does this mean for abortion access here in Nevada?
