Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada Comes Out in Support of Bill to Codify Protections for Abortion Patients and Providers

For Immediate Release: Feb. 10, 2023


SB 131 seeks to shore up protections for out-of-state patients and abortion providers in Nevada after loss of federal protections for abortion rights

RENO, NV — Today Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro introduced SB 131, a bill that seeks to codify protections for out-of-state abortion patients seeking care in Nevada and Nevada abortion providers set forth by the previous administration after the Supreme Court issued a decision that overturned federal protections for abortion rights. 

Statement from Lindsey Harmon, Executive Director, Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada: 

“This is a crucial step in continuing to shore up protections for abortion patients in Nevada. When the Supreme Court struck down federal protections for abortion rights last summer, it created an abortion access crisis in this country leaving millions of people to travel to states like Nevada. 

As a state that has long valued protecting the right to abortion, we must continue to ensure that we do our part to protect anyone who seeks abortion care here from being criminalized or prosecuted by their home states. This is an unprecedented moment in our nation’s history and we must rise to it and remain clear-eyed about our role in continuing to protect people’s right to reproductive freedom and health.”
