@nevadannews This election could perhaps be the most consequential for the future of reproductive rights — not only in Nevada, but across the country, US Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Democrat, said Thursday. Since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, more than 20 states have enacted restrictions on abortion access, including 14 that have imposed total bans with limited or no exceptions in cases of rape or incest. During a roundtable discussion with advocates and reproductive rights experts, Rosen warned that Republicans will move to pass a nationwide ban on abortion should they win control of Congress or the White House in November. Conservatives might not stop there, Rosen added. Access to contraceptives or reproductive services like in-vitro fertilization could also be jeopardized, Rosen said. “If Republicans take back the Senate, they’ll do everything they can to ban abortion across the country and right here in Nevada,” she said. “We can’t trust a word they’re saying, not when it’s an election year.”
