On Monday, left-wing protesters in Nevada signed a ballot initiative that would uphold the state constitution’s right to an abortion.
A partnership called Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which includes pro- pregnancy organizations and Planned Parenthood affiliates, announced it had collected more than 200, 000 names from listed citizens, surpassing the 103, 000 needed to count for the ballot in November, NBC News reported.
At a press conference on Monday, Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom President Lindsey Harmon stated,” The number of signatures collected in just over three decades shows how deeply Nevadans believe in abortion right and how significant it is this historical moment in our country’s history.”
