"Voters are very capable and very willing to show up and vote for what they believe in terms of a ballot measure ... and then turn around and vote for a candidate on the same ballot who does not share those values," LaBombard said.Nevada's proposed measure would enshrine into the state's constitution the right to an abortion until the point of fetal viability.
