<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Republican Governor Joe Lombardo has signed a bill into law that makes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nevada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nevada</a> a safe haven for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion</a> tourism, joining deep blue states like Rhode Island and California in instituting laws that would block the enforcement of pro-life measures prohibiting traveling for abortions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lombardo, who describes himself as a “pro-life” Catholic whose election was </span><a href="https://www.nrlvictoryfund.org/endorsements/nevada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">supported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by the National Right to Life, was praised by Democrats in the state after signing the bill. In April, Idaho </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/idaho-most-extreme-anti-abortion-state-law-restricts-travel-rcna78225" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">became the</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> first state to ban abortion tourism for minors. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Governor Lombardo made a campaign commitment to ensure that Nevada would not participate in prosecuting those seeking legal medical care in the state,” Lombardo spokesperson Elizabeth Ray <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nevada-abortion-republican-governor-joe-lombardo-83032873a48a8916b7d030191d095bc4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Wednesday. “Today, Governor Lombardo kept that commitment.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire has reached out to Lombardo’s office for further comment on his decision. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During his campaign for governor, Lombardo </span><a href="https://www.joelombardofornv.com/reproductive-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that he would “always govern as a pro-life governor” and that “he trusts the people of Nevada to make the important decision of what legislation to send to his desk.” He said that he would leave the decision up to Nevada voters. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The law, </span><a href="https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/82nd2023/Bill/9800/Text" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SB 131</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, prohibits authorities in the state from pursuing or aiding in any criminal charges brought against out-of-state women who travel to Nevada for an abortion. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It passed 27-14 in the state Assembly and 15-6 in the state Senate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to thank [Lombardo] for following through on his commitment to ensuring that Nevada won’t participate in prosecutions of women who come here to exercise their reproductive rights,” said Democratic Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In November 2022, Lombardo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-republican-joe-lombardo-wins-nevada-governorship-projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defeated incumbent Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak</a> in a close race, taking nearly 49% of the vote to Sisolak’s 47%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lombardo, the former sheriff of Clark County, ran a campaign focused mainly on economic issues, education, and crime, especially the prevalence of black market fentanyl in the state. The longtime law enforcement officer portrayed himself as a moderate on other issues, such as abortion, consistently downplaying what he could do to limit abortion as governor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The law codifies an executive order signed by Sisolak, which Lombardo initially said he would repeal until <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/nevada-republican-governor-approves-abortion-protections-rare-cross-99711288">reversing</a> his stance several months into the campaign.</span></p>
