Nebraska Joins Push for Abortion Rights Amendments Amid Competing Measures and Legal Challenges
  • Nevada, Arizona, and Nebraska are working to add abortion access to their state constitutions for the November ballot.

  • Nebraska's coalition has gathered enough signatures for an amendment allowing abortion up to fetal viability at around 24 weeks, with exceptions for life and health.

  • Opponents in Nebraska have also submitted signatures for anti-abortion measures, including one that would ban abortion after the first trimester except in specific circumstances.

  • There are challenges and competing measures that may affect the progress of the pro-reproductive rights effort.

  • All submitted signatures in the states will be verified by August 22 to prepare for possible legal challenges.
