Nebraska could be the next state facing a massive battle over abortion is leftists in the state get their way. Radical abortion supports are starting a signature campaign to try to get a ballot amendment that would make killing babies in abortions up to birth a right.
They know that they can dump millions of dollars in fake ads in the state and possibly get the amendment approved at a time when Nebraska voters want to protect babies from abortions.
The amendment would also come at a time when the state just approved a 12-week abortion ban to help women and protect babies.
Here’s more on this extreme amendment:
An abortion rights grassroots coalition called “Protect our Rights” filed paperwork with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission to place a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot.
The original proposal was filed on August 4, but the filing was updated on Thursday, listing executive director for Nebraska of Planned Parenthood North Central States Andi Curry Grubb, executive director of Nebrska Abortion Resources Shelley Mann, and executive director of I Be Black Girl Ashlei Spivey as the organizers of the initiative, per reporting from WOWT NBC.

The exact language of the initiative petition has not been finalized, but the stated purpose of the initiative is to amend the state’s constitution to protect abortion rights. The final language of the petition will eventually need to be approved by the Nebraska Secretary of State’s office.
In order for this constitutional amendment to make the 2024 ballot, the group will need to get valid signatures of 10% of the state’s registered voters, which, as of August 1, is about 123,000 signatures. These signatures must be collected from 5% of the registered voters in 38 of the state’s counties, according to reporting from the Nebraska Examiner.
The announcement comes one week after a state judge has ruled against a request from the abortion industry to stop the 12-week abortion ban that can save thousands of babies from abortions.
