Bill overview
This bill repeals a Nevada law that criminalized a woman’s intentional termination of a pregnancy after 24 weeks, specifically if she used drugs or other means to do so, unless performed under a physician’s advice as part of a legal abortion. The law treated such actions as manslaughter, punishable by imprisonment and a fine. The bill also retroactively applies this repeal, meaning the crime is no longer illegal for actions taken before, on, or after the bill’s passage.
