Nevada bishops, including Las Vegas Archbishop George Leo Thomas and Diocese of Reno Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg, are actively opposing a referendum that would establish a constitutional right to abortion in the state, describing it as a dangerous expansion of abortion access potentially through the ninth month of pregnancy. They have coordinated efforts including pastoral letters, printed materials, and planned newspaper advertisements to rally Catholics to vote against the measure in the upcoming election.

A study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found the FDA lacked sufficient evidence to remove the in-person abortion pill dispensing rule, raising safety concerns about mail-order abortion pills. Las Vegas Archbishop George Leo Thomas urged Nevada Catholics to vote no on a ballot measure that would expand abortion rights beyond the current 24-week limit, warning it could harm women, minors, and unborn children.
