Overview
- One measure seeks to enshrine the right to abortion until fetal viability, around 24 weeks, with protections for the mother's life or health after that.
- Another measure aims to codify the state's current 12-week abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest, and medical emergencies.
- The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled both measures address a single subject and can appear on the ballot despite legal challenges.
- Over 200,000 signatures were collected for each measure, exceeding the required 123,000 valid signatures for ballot inclusion.
- Nebraska is one of ten states voting on abortion rights measures this November, a key issue in the upcoming presidential election.
