The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a letter to Nevada members opposing Question 6, the Right to Abortion Initiative set to appear on the state's November ballot. The measure, an initiated constitutional amendment, requires passage in two consecutive elections and was previously approved by voters in 2024.

The Church's letter marks its second state-level opposition to an abortion ballot measure this cycle, following a similar position in Idaho. Church statements on ballot questions are typically read over pulpits in affected areas and distributed through local leadership.

Question 6 would enshrine abortion rights in Nevada's state constitution. The Church has historically taken positions on ballot measures involving abortion, same-sex marriage, and other issues it frames as matters of religious liberty and moral teaching.
