A ballot amendment in Nebraska now restricts abortion beyond the first three months of pregnancy, marking a pivotal shift amidst broader national trends supporting abortion rights.
The measure, supported by anti-abortion activists, amends the State Constitution to protect unborn children in the second and third trimester, with few exceptions.
Despite rising support for abortion rights following Roe v. Wade's overturn, Nebraska's unique political landscape facilitated a successful push to limit those rights through direct measures.
The successful passage of the amendment reflects a strategic effort to streamline existing state legislation on abortion, limiting the procedure primarily to very early stages of pregnancy.
