New Ballot Initiative Filed To Add Pro-Life Protections In State Constitution

(Lincoln, NE) — Instead of the abortion industry’s extreme proposal, which grants the abortionist sole authority to determine fetal viability and allows minors to obtain an abortion without parental notification, voters may have a second option on their ballot.

A new ballot initiative called Protect Women and Children has been released that seeks to amend the Nebraska Constitution to create a constitutional protection for preborn children in the second and third trimesters.

This initiative establishes a floor of protection, not a ceiling, meaning preborn children must, at a minimum, be protected by the second trimester, and stronger pro-life laws could still be passed going forward.

---

This is consistent with what our legislature passed last year to prohibit abortion at 12 weeks and would ensure that our existing pro-life laws remain in place while we continue working to create a culture of life that provides love and support to every mother and child.

If passed, Nebraska would be the first state in the nation to provide constitutional protection to preborn children in a state constitution.

Nebraska must be the state to turn the tide and stop the abortion industry’s momentum.

Where there are great challenges, there are also great opportunities, and together, we can advance a culture of life, defeat the abortion industry, and help full families thrive.
