Nebraska Governor Signs Law Banning Most Abortions After 12 Weeks, Restricting Transgender Healthcare For Minors

The law bans most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest and life endangerment of the mother.
The law restricts access to hormone treatments, puberty blockers and surgical care for people under 19.
The abortion ban takes effect immediately while restrictions on transgender care take effect October 1.
Opponents have promised legal challenges arguing the law threatens health and civil rights.
Nebraska joins at least 18 states enacting laws limiting abortion and transgender care this year.
