CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld language for Question 6, which will appear on the ballot for the 2024 election.
Question 6 asks the voter to consider whether the Nevada Constitution should be amended to create a fundamental right to an abortion. You can read more about Question 6 here.
Donna Washington and the Coalition for Parents and Children challenged the initiative, arguing that its description of effect is legally insufficient, and that the initiative includes an unfunded mandate. A district court had rejected this argument, resulting in an appeal to the State Supreme Court.
The court stated that “the initiative here does not require an appropriation or expenditure of money by its plain language and does not require the State to pay for or provide abortions.”
The Supreme Court found that the description was in fact legally sufficient.

A judge in Las Vegas sentenced a Texas man to 100 years in prison for his role in a two-state shooting rampage on Thanksgiving 2020 that included the killing of a man in Nevada and a shootout with authorities in Arizona.
Christopher McDonnell, 32, pleaded guilty in October to more than 20 felonies including murder, attempted murder, murder conspiracy, weapon charges and being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm.
Clark county district judge Tierra Jones sentenced him on Friday to a minimum of 100 years in prison, KLAS-TV reported. If he’s still alive, he would be eligible for parole in 2120 with credit for time served.
McDonnell of Tyler, Texas, his brother Shawn McDonnell, 34, and Shawn McDonnell’s then wife, Kayleigh Lewis, 29, originally faced dozens of charges.
Police and prosecutors say the trio began an 11-hour rampage on 26 November 2020 that included apparently random shootings that killed Kevin Mendiola Jr, 22, at a convenience store in Henderson, near Las Vegas, and drive-by gunfire that wounded several other people.
The group then continued into Arizona, where there were additional shootings, including one involving a police officer. All three were arrested after their car rolled over.
Prosecutors said Lewis was the driver as the two brothers fired indiscriminately out of the vehicle’s windows. Shawn McDonnell and Lewis are awaiting trial.
The shooting rampage ended near the Colorado River town of Parker, Arizona, after a chase involving officers from the Arizona department of public safety, the crash of a car with a Texas license plate and the wounding of Shawn McDonnell by troopers wielding assault-style rifles, police said.

The stolen property included handguns.
Police are now looking for 44-year old Charles Milburn and 36-year old Stevie Loveridge, both of South Fork, in connection to this case.
The investigation is ongoing – if you have any information as to the whereabouts of Milburn or Loveridge, please call the Elko Dispatch non-emergency line at (775) 777-7300, or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.
