Supreme Court ruling on abortion could shape Nevada Senate race

• Democrats are hoping an impending Supreme Court ruling on abortion will help them win the Senate seat.
• GOP front-runner Adam Laxalt led the chapter of a group involved in controversial abortion cases.
• Anti-abortionist Susan B. Anthony List is targeting Nevada with a door-to-door campaign next month.

Republicans and Democrats see Nevada’s Senate race this year as key to controlling the upper house – but a looming Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights could upend the election and, Democrats hope, keep the seat blue.

Outrage over a potential loss of a constitutional right to abortion could be particularly galvanizing for more liberal Nevada voters, Democrats say, because the state has a long history of supporting reproductive rights.
