Nebraska Legislature Rejects Bill to Ban Abortions if Roe v. Wade is Overturned

We envision a Nebraska where every life is cherished, valued, and protected,' the Nebraska Family Alliance declared in support of the bill.

LINCOLN, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) – After eight hours of debate on Wednesday, the Nebraska legislature failed to pass a pro-life “trigger” law that would have banned abortions in the Cornhusker State were Roe v. Wade to be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Even though a majority of the legislature supported the bill, it failed to obtain the 33 votes needed to overcome the filibuster that blocked a vote on the bill, falling short by two votes in a 31-15 result.

The bill, LB 933, called “The Human Life Protection Act” was introduced by State Sens. Joni Albrecht and Mike Flood. It had 23 cosponsors and was hailed by the Nebraska Family Alliance, a pro-life advocacy group, as “the biggest pro-life bill in Nebraska.”

“We envision a Nebraska where every life is cherished, valued, and protected,” the Nebraska Family Alliance declared in support of the bill.

“We’re not going to kill babies in Nebraska anymore,” Albrecht said. “We’re going to take care of them. No one should have the right to kill an unborn child that doesn’t have a voice.”

Flood declared Nebraska is a “pro-life state,” and that LB 933 was the next logical step after the 2010 bill he sponsored, banning abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy. Nebraska was the first state to enact such a ban. In 2020, it outlawed brutal dismemberment abortion.

"We’re going to take care of them."

Actually, the best way to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies is to make the biological parents raise them or pay for someone else to raise them (child support).

As long as other people take on the burden and the cost the baby makers will keep on making babies and the good guys will always be trying to pick up the pieces.

But if we quit freeing people from the natural consequences of their behavior we'll bigly reduce their acting irresponsibly.

Roe vs Wade will never be overturned now.

It is sealing our country’s doom.
