Nevada Anti-Abortion Measures Proceed To Signature Gathering

[maddezmom]

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Two Nevada initiatives that seek to ban abortions and limit some forms of birth control will advance to the signature gathering process after opponents decided to forgo further legal challenges to language and descriptions of the petitions, lawyers said Friday.

Backers now have until June 19 to gather more than 72,000 signatures to qualify the proposed constitutional amendments for the November ballot.

“We’re happy to be going forward,” said Chet Gallagher, director of the Nevada Prolife Coalition. “Time is running out. We just need to get people on board.”

The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and a coalition of Planned Parenthood affiliates challenged four earlier attempts on grounds the language was vague and misleading to voters.
