内华达州一个主要的堕胎权利组织正在发起一项耗资100万美元的广告宣传活动，旨在动员选民支持一项将堕胎保护措施纳入该州宪法的提案。根据2024年通过的投票结果（64%的选民支持该提案），该州目前允许在怀孕24周以内进行堕胎。但由于宪法修正案的通过需要经过两次投票程序，因此“内华达生殖自由组织”（Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom）不敢掉以轻心。该组织的数字广告旨在提醒那些支持堕胎权利的选民务必前往投票站再次投票。如果堕胎保护措施能够正式写入宪法，那么推翻这些规定将变得更加困难，因为未来还需要在另一次选举中再次获得选民的批准。广告中特别提到了州长乔·隆巴多（Joe Lombardo）的立场：他曾庆祝罗诉韦德案（Roe v. Wade）的裁决被推翻，支持在该州实施堕胎禁令，并否决了一项旨在保护公民获得避孕措施（包括紧急避孕药和宫内节育器）权利的两党联合法案。目前，隆巴多正在与民主党籍司法部长亚伦·福特（Aaron Ford）展开激烈的州长竞选。福特在竞选活动中始终将生殖权利问题作为核心议题；据无党派选举预测机构Cook Political Report的评估，这场竞选的结果难以预料。该组织主席丹尼斯·洛佩兹（Denise Lopez）在声明中表示：“医疗保健权利不应成为反堕胎政客手中的筹码。乔·隆巴多州长多次利用职权破坏公民的生殖自由权利，违背了选民的意愿。2024年，三分之二的内华达州选民投票支持保护堕胎权利；今年，我们有机会让这些保护措施成为永久性的法律。”内华达州是今年11月四个允许选民就堕胎问题进行表决的州之一；其他三个州分别是密苏里州（Missouri）、弗吉尼亚州（Virginia）和爱达荷州（Idaho）。
A leading abortion rights group in Nevada is launching a $1 million ad campaign to mobilize voters around a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion protections into the state constitution. Abortion is legal up to 24 weeks after conception in the state, thanks to a 2024 ballot initiative that passed with 64 percent of the vote. But, since the law requires a second vote to enshrine a constitutional amendment, Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom is not taking any chances. The group's digital ad seeks to remind Nevada voters who support abortion access to show up to the polls and vote for the measure again. Enshrining abortion protections would make it more difficult to overturn abortion access, as it would require two more rounds of voter approval across separate elections. The ad takes aim at Gov. Joe Lombardo (R), noting he celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade, supported an abortion ban in the state and vetoed a bipartisan bill protecting Nevadans' right to access birth control methods, including emergency contraceptives and IUDs. Lombardo is locked in a tightly contested gubernatorial race with Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford. Ford has been running with reproductive rights at the forefront of his campaign, and Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, rated the contest as a “toss-up.” “Access to health care should not be up for grabs by anti-abortion politicians. Governor Joe Lombardo has repeatedly used his office to undermine reproductive freedom, violating the will of voters. In 2024, two thirds of Nevadans voted to protect abortion access, and this year is our opportunity to make those protections permanent,” Denise Lopez, president of the coalition, said in a statement. Nevada is one of four states where voters will weigh in on abortion in November. Missouri, Virginia and Idaho are the others. Like Nevada, Missouri is also voting on abortion protections for the second time since 2024, though the state’s Republican-dominated legislature is asking voters to overturn what voters passed just two years ago. The measure even has the same title as in 2024: Amendment 3. Recent polls show that a majority of Americans, as much as 60 percent in some cases, think abortion should be legal in most or all cases. Reproductive rights activists have urged Democrats to lean into the issue ahead of Novembers' midterms, holding Republicans in close races' feet to the fire.
与内华达州一样，密苏里州也在2024年之后第二次就堕胎保护措施进行投票，尽管该州由共和党主导的立法机构正要求选民推翻两年前刚刚通过的决议。该提案甚至沿用了2024年的名称：第3号修正案。近期民调显示，大多数美国人（在某些情况下高达60%）认为堕胎在大多数或所有情况下都应合法。生殖权利活动人士敦促民主党人在11月中期选举前重点关注这一议题，并对选情胶着的共和党候选人施加压力。
