Prolife Victory! Nebraska 12th State to Ban Dismemberment Abortions

On Saturday, Gov. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) signed into law LB 814 -
the dismemberment abortion ban - in Nebraska. Sponsored by
Family Policy Foundation's Statesmen Academy alumna Sen. Suzanne
Geist (NE-25), LB 814 prohibits abortions that dismember a baby in the
womb with tools such as clamps and forceps. These gruesome procedures,
also known as D&E abortions, are most commonly performed during
the second trimester when a baby is too large for a suction abortion.

Nebraska became the twelfth state in the nation to enact a
dismemberment abortion ban - but not without a tremendous fight.
Planned Parenthood and the ACLU led well-funded campaigns to oppose
the bill and pro-abortion senators performed a filibuster at each
round of debate in an effort to kill the bill. After COVID-19 caused
the legislature to recess for many weeks, there was little time to
move the bill through the legislative process. But on the last day of
session, the Nebraska Senate passed the bill with 33 "yes"
votes, eight "no" votes and seven senators not voting.

We praise God for this significant pro-life win and congratulate Sen.
Suzanne Geist, our friends at Nebraska Family Alliance and all
Nebraskans who fought and prayed for an end to dismemberment
abortions. Family Policy Alliance stands with them as we continue to
protect all babies in the womb and their mothers, in every state in
the nation.

For life,
