Nebraska will be the only state in the nation with two abortion-related amendments on the ballot this fall. Today, the Secretary of State’s Office announced that Protect Women & Children and a pro-abortion group backed by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood both gathered enough valid signatures to place their measures on the ballot.

Protect Women & Children’s ballot measure mirrors Nebraska’s current 12-week protection that became law in 2023. The pro-abortion amendment is similar to measures passed in Ohio and Michigan, which legalize all-trimester abortion, eviscerate parental rights, end health and safety protections for women, and ensure taxpayer-funded abortion.

State Public Affairs Director for SBA Pro-Life America Kelsey Pritchard warned voters what is at stake in November: "The full text of Protect Women & Children’s ballot measure reads: Implications of the pro-abortion ballot measure backed by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU include."

According to a WPA Intelligence poll from 2023, 72% of Nebraskans reject unlimited abortion.

In 2022, Michigan passed Prop 3, an abortion amendment similar to Nebraska’s pro-abortion measure and those being proposed in red states. In the following legislative session, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill to end the state’s partial birth abortion ban. When the legislature was unable to remove informed consent and guarantee taxpayer-funded abortion, the ACLU brought litigation based on the amendment.

The abortion lobby is targeting seven red states with abortion amendments in 2024. In addition to Nebraska, abortion activists are pushing extreme amendments in Arizona, Florida, Montana, South Dakota, Missouri and Arkansas.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
