Three years ago this week, the Supreme Court handed down one of the most important decisions in its history. The Dobbs decision restored the right of the American people to regulate abortion through the democratic process. The pro-life movement is about love, compassion, dignity, and respect. As Senator, I’m proud to fight for life.
Nebraska has always been a leader in the pro-life movement. In 2010, we became the first state to pass a bill banning abortion after babies could feel pain.When I was Governor, we banned the barbaric practice of dismemberment abortion. We bolstered informed consent protections.We provided nursing mothers’ rooms at state buildings.We also allowed state teammates to donate unused vacation leave to coworkers who are expectant mothers.
Last year, Nebraska became the first state to pass a pro-life ballot initiative since Dobbs and defeated a radical pro-abortion ballot initiative. These efforts have saved and continue to save many lives.
