Nebraska Bill Would Ban Abortions and Make Killing Babies a Felony
February 25, 2022 | Nebraska
Nebraska lawmakers listened to testimony Thursday about a bill that would protect unborn babies by banning all abortions as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned.
KETV 7 reports state Sen. Joni Albrecht, R-Thurston, said her bill, the Nebraska Human Life Protection Act (LB 933), would ensure that every human life is protected in Nebraska.
“Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, there have been almost 200,000 abortions in Nebraska,” Albrecht said.
Sometimes referred to as a trigger bill, Albrecht said 12 other states already have similar laws in place to ban abortions as soon as the U.S. Supreme Court allows states to do so. Her bill would prohibit all abortions except when the mother’s life is at risk. Abortionists who violate the ban would be charged with a felony.
“… every person from the moment of conception” deserves legal protection, Albrecht said, the Omaha World-Herald reports. “Both the woman and the child are worthy of being loved, and they deserve better than abortion.”.. (Excerpt from LIFENEWS.COM)
