Nevada leaders react to two-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned


RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – On the two-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, two press conferences were held by pro-choice activists in Reno.

“Now he is promising a nationwide abortion ban if he is elected,” said former Nevada Lt, Governor Kate Marshall. “That critical choice of when where and how to start a family. If Trump becomes president a nationwide abortion ban will wash all that away.”

Marshall says 30% of those getting abortions lately in Nevada have been from out of state, and says she is worried those rights could be in jeopardy.

But that is not necessarily the feeling you will get if you talk to one local pro-life advocacy organization, as Krystal Minera-Alvis of Right to Life Nevada explained.

“At this moment we would like to leave the law where it is,” she said, “Abortion is currently legal up until six months or 24 weeks, and 9 months in the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother is at risk.”

Still, Minera-Alvis agrees with the idea that “my body my choice” is a bit of a misnomer

“The baby itself has its own unique DNA. Its own body,” she stated. “So, it is its own. And the woman’s is her own as well.”

Nevada reaches settlement with Hyundai and Kia over anti-theft technology


LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office says Nevada and other states reached a settlement with Hyundai and Kia for selling cars that lack industry-standard anti-theft technology.

“Hyundai and Kia did not meet their responsibilities to the public and created a public safety issue by neglecting to use industry-standard technology on their vehicles,” Ford said. “I strongly urge any impacted Nevadans to make use of this settlement agreement to install these safety measures and, if eligible, to seek monetary restitution.”

As part of the settlement, the automakers agreed to equip all future cars with the anti-theft technology and offer ignition cylinder protectors to owners or leasees of eligible vehicles.

In statements, both companies affirmed their commitment to work with law enforcement to combat car theft.

According to a media release, consumers who previously installed the software update on their vehicles (or were scheduled to do so) but nonetheless experienced a theft or attempted theft of their vehicle on or after April 29, 2025, are eligible to file a claim for restitution for certain theft and attempted-theft related expenses.

For more information about eligibility and how to submit a claim for compensation, Ford’s office says to visit the following:
