Nevada’s ‘Pro-Life,’ Catholic GOP Governor Signs Abortion Bill Endorsed by Planned Parenthood

Gov. Joe Lombardo sides with Planned Parenthood and against his own party.

CARSON CITY, Nevada (LifeSiteNews) — A self-professed Catholic and “pro-life” Republican governor signed pro-abortion legislation that codified his predecessor’s executive order and received the backing of Planned Parenthood.

Governor Joe Lombardo signed legislation on Tuesday that prohibits prosecution of abortionists in the state who break abortion laws in other states. The law essentially makes Nevada a safe haven for abortionists who want to secretly travel to pro-life states and commit abortions, as long as those are protected under Nevada law.

Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, whom Lombardo defeated in 2022, issued his executive order shortly after the Supreme Court of the United States reversed Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion back to the states in the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling.

One backer of the legislation is Planned Parenthood abortionist Kristina Tocce. “I am proud to submit this testimony in support of SB 131, a bill designed to protect Nevada abortion providers and out-of-state patients from the cruel and medically unnecessary abortion bans passed in other states,” Tocce wrote in an official letter in support. She is the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.

The signing fulfills a promise Lombardo made to never take any steps to prosecute abortionists or women for illegal abortions. “Joe is Catholic and pro-life, but Nevadans decided long ago that the issue of abortion should only be decided by Nevada voters themselves,” the governor wrote on his campaign website under the pro-abortion euphemism “Reproductive Health.”

GOP crap-weasels ALWAYS say this garbage. “Well, I have my positions, but I just respect the will of the pinkos…” therefore, I will endorse any and all pinkos plans brought before me…

Catholics have basically become atheists.

Anytime a politician says they are catholic, count of them being evil.

I refer to those like him as “Pelosi” or “Biden-Catholics”.

“He’s not Catholic, he may think he is, but he’s not.”

Also, he’s not Republican, he may think he is, but he’s not.

““Joe is Catholic and pro-life, but...” Joe is a coward. Many state governors have more courage. Nebraska just passed a 12 week ban after Georgia passed a six week ban.
