A new ballot measure effort in Nebraska aims to protect babies from second- and third-trimester abortions, offering voters a choice this November. The initiative by Protect Women and Children Nebraska proposes a constitutional amendment that aligns with the state law's 12-week protection, contrasting with another ballot measure supported by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.

SBA Pro-Life America Western Regional Director Adam Schwend expressed support for the 12-week ballot measure, stating, "Nebraska is a pro-life state with three-quarters of Nebraskans rejecting unlimited abortion." Schwend highlighted the importance of the upcoming decision for Nebraskans, emphasizing the stark differences between the two abortion measures on the table.

Schwend outlined the contrasting implications of the two measures, urging voters to consider the protection of unborn children in the second and third trimesters. The 12-week ballot measure specifies that unless in cases of medical emergencies, sexual assault, or incest, unborn children shall be safeguarded from abortion in later trimesters.

The initiative has sparked discussions on women's safety, common-sense health regulations, parental involvement, and the role of Planned Parenthood in providing abortions. The upcoming election will provide Nebraskans with a clear choice regarding the protection of life after the first trimester.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a network dedicated to advocating for laws that save lives and promoting pro-life leaders, stands behind the initiative, highlighting the significance of the decision facing Nebraska voters in the upcoming election.
