Nebraska Supreme Court allows pro-life amendment on November ballot
Caroline MolloyThe Nebraska Supreme Court has decided to keep the “Protect Women and Children” amendment on the state ballot for the November election, which aims to enshrine the state’s current 12-week abortion ban in the Nebraska Constitution.
The Sep 13 decision comes after Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Chief Legal Counsel Jim Campbell argued before the court earlier this week.
“We applaud the Nebraska Supreme Court for upholding the will of the more than 100,000 Nebraskans who supported including the Protect Women and Children Amendment on the November ballot,” Campbell stated, according to the ADF.
“Now Nebraskans will have a meaningful choice on Election Day and the opportunity to preserve life-saving protections for women and unborn children by voting for the Protect Women and Children Amendment,” he stated.
If the Protect Women and Children amendment passes, it will enshrine the Nebraska’s current 12-week abortion ban with the exception of medical emergency, rape, and incest in the state constitution.
