Adam Laxalt Supports Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade to Take Away Our Fundamental Freedoms and Right to Privacy

Jun 24, 2022

The Supreme Court decision today overturning Roe v. Wade takes away the right to privacy and Americans’ freedom to make their own decision on whether to have an abortion. Adam Laxalt wants to make abortion illegal in Nevada without exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, criminalize doctors for providing safe medical services, and punish Nevadans for having abortions.

Adam Laxalt has dedicated his career to undercutting reproductive freedom. Laxalt has previously called the Court’s draft decision a “historic victory.” As Nevada’s attorney general, Laxalt signed onto multiple legal efforts to roll back abortion access.

The stakes of the 2022 election could not be higher. With an overwhelming majority of Nevadans supporting the freedom to choose, Nevada voters have a clear choice between corrupt extremist Adam Laxalt who wants to roll back our freedoms and have the government make healthcare decisions for people in Nevada, and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, who will ensure that every person in Nevada has the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
