Las Vegas Archbishop George Leo Thomas urged a no vote on Nevada's Question 6, warning it would dangerously expand abortion rights by facilitating late-term abortions, removing parental notification for minors, and eliminating the requirement that a licensed physician perform abortions. The measure would enshrine abortion rights in the Nevada Constitution, but opponents including the Archdiocese of Las Vegas and the Nevada Catholic Conference argue it threatens the health and welfare of women, minors, and unborn lives.

The Las Vegas archbishop has urged Catholics to reject an abortion measure. This call to action is specific to the Las Vegas area in Nevada.

Wade was overturned, but the court found it unclear on compliance and bypass procedures.
