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.”

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — First responders from across Nevada gathered for a free training session on how to better recognize and respond to people on the autism spectrum as part of a broader push following the passage of Senate Bill 380 last year.
The free, day-long session, hosted by the Autism Coalition of Nevada, brought together police, firefighters, and emergency personnel from agencies statewide for what organizers call a “train-the-trainer” model. It equipped attendees with tools they can take back to their departments and share with others.
The training is designed to help first responders identify key behaviors associated with autism, such as delayed responses, lack of eye contact, or repetition, and adjust their approach in high-pressure situations where those behaviors could otherwise be misinterpreted.
“The training is to help them understand what’s in front of them, which is a person on the spectrum, and not somebody that’s being combative or argumentative,” said Michelle Scott-Lewing, president of the Autism Coalition of Nevada.
Advocates said misunderstandings can happen frequently, sometimes leading to unnecessary arrests, and this type of education is aimed at reducing those outcomes.
Senate Bill 380, signed into law by Governor Joe Lombardo, requires autism-specific training for first responders and adds guidance around how officers should be educated on recognizing and interacting with individuals on the spectrum, marking a significant step toward more consistent awareness across agencies.
The session was led by First Responder Autism Training, a national program that travels the country teaching officers and emergency crews how to recognize autism indicators and respond appropriately, with real-world scenarios that emphasize slowing down and de-escalating.
Henderson police said their officers already receive training on a range of mental health conditions, but this builds on that foundation with a more focused approach.
“For officers to be able to recognize those signs and be able to understand like, hey, this person, even though they’re not talking to me or they’re not doing what I’m saying, that doesn’t mean they’re non-compliant,” Deputy Chief Matthew Murnane with HPD said. “It just means maybe, hey, there’s something else going on there.”
Organizers said they want to expand the training with an additional session this year in Northern Nevada, aiming to make it more accessible statewide and ensure more first responders have the tools needed to safely handle interactions involving people on the spectrum.
