🔍 A Closer Look: Nevada Republican Lawmakers Voted for a Deadly Bill

Earlier this year, Republican lawmakers in Congress, including Nevada U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei knowingly voted to take lifesaving health care away from over 10 million Americans across the country, severely cutting funding for Medicaid and “defunding” Planned Parenthood.

⚠️ The Stakes: Reproductive Health Care and Abortion Access Gutted

Planned Parenthood clinics have already closed this year because of previous Trump administration budget cuts.

And let’s not forget—this bill pushes us closer toward a nationwide backdoor abortion ban. The provision to “defund” Planned Parenthood could cause more than 200 clinics to close nationwide, including clinics in states where abortion is legal.

When clinics close, it will reduce people’s access to abortion care, in addition to birth control, cancer screenings, and other health care services.

🤿 Dive Into the Details: August Recess with Reproductive Freedom for All Nevada

After the bill passed, Gov. Joe Lombardo said Nevadans should be “excited”—even as families brace for higher costs and fewer options.

Here’s two ways we took action:

In Rep. Amodei’s district we hosted a Reno town hall focused on the devastating impacts of the budget bill. Both Amodei and Lombardo were invited but didn’t show.

We also rolled out accountability posters across Amodei’s district so constituents know who voted to gut their care.

We held a roundtable with reproductive freedom champion Rep. Steven Horsford, joined by providers, public health experts, and local leaders to discuss how to defend access and equity despite GOP attacks.
