Idaho Rejects Abortion Measure; Nevada Approves Abortion Rights Amendment

• Idaho voters rejected a ballot measure that would have codified the right to an abortion up until fetal viability.
• Nevada voters approved a ballot measure protecting abortion up to the point of viability, adding the protection to the state constitution.
• The point of viability, usually around the 24-week mark, allows Nevada to enact restrictions after this point except when necessary to protect the life or health.
• US Rep. Susie Lee, a Democratic congresswoman, actively campaigned for the Nevada abortion rights measure.
• The outcomes in Idaho and Nevada reflect differing approaches to abortion rights in the recent midterm elections.
