Republican Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, a self-described pro-life Catholic, has signed a bill enabling people to come from other states to get abortions.
On Tuesday, Lombardo signed Senate Bill 131 into law. The bill bars state agencies from assisting in out-of-state investigations that could lead to the prosecution of abortion seekers who travel to Nevada. The bill also bars medical boards and commissions that oversee medical licenses from disciplining or disqualifying doctors who provide abortions.
The Nevada bill comes as other states have limited access to abortions and passed laws to prosecute residents who travel to other states for abortions.
Nevada law currently allows for abortions at up to 24 weeks in the gestational period….
