Nebraskans bundled for the 50th annual Nebraska Walk For Life on Saturday in Lincoln. It marked the first rally since Gov. Jim Pillen signed a 12-week abortion ban into law.
With abortion appearing destined to become a central part of the 2024 election in Nebraska, it's unlikely any change to the law will come during the ongoing legislative session.
Sheena Dooley, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson, said abortion services will be performed in Lincoln through March or early April, then move back to Omaha.
An effort to add an exception for fatal fetal anomalies to Nebraska's 12-week abortion ban needed five votes in a legislative committee to move forward. Tuesday, it got three.
Pllaned Parenthood is currently only providing abortion services at its Lincoln location while its Omaha health center undergoes construction. The organization plans to eventually move all abortion services to Omaha.
Supporters of the state’s 12-week ban say the law has been good for Nebraskans amid doctors' concerns over the legal gray area.
