Nebraska bill that bans most abortions at 12 weeks and gender-affirming care for those under 19 is signed into law by Republican Gov. Jim Pillen
The bill does not define “medical emergency” and the legislation includes a clause that will put the rules into immediate effect the day after it is signed. LB 574, which passed the state’s Republican-controlled unicameral legislature in a 33-15 vote last week, also bans gender-affirming care for people under 19 years old. The abortion amendment was tacked onto the legislation after previous efforts to restrict abortions failed to overcome a filibuster.
of Nebraska executive director Mindy Rush Chipman said in a statement last week that the consequences of the law will be “devastating.” “To be clear, we refuse to accept this as our new normal. This vote will not be the final word. We are actively exploring our options to address the harm of this extreme legislation, and that work will have our team’s full focus. This is not over, not by a long shot,” Chipman said. This story has been updated with additional information Monday.
