Nevada to use Medicaid funds for abortion services for lower-income women after court ruling.

Nevada will become the 18th U.S. state to utilize Medicaid funds for abortion services for lower-income women, following a court ruling that deemed the denial of coverage a violation of equal rights protections adopted by voters in 2022. The change, set to take effect by early November, reflects ongoing efforts to protect abortion access in the state. Nevada voters will also consider a constitutional amendment to further secure abortion rights in November.
