Nevada activists secure signatures for vote on abortion access in November

Nearly double number of signatures needed turned in to get measure to enshrine abortion rights in constitution on ballot

Activists in Nevada, a key state in the upcoming US presidential elections, announced on Monday afternoon that they had turned in nearly double the number of signatures they need to get an abortion-related measure on the November ballot.

Nevada currently allows abortions up until fetal viability, or the point at which an infant can survive outside the womb, which is generally pegged to around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
