Judge upholds Nebraska law banning abortion at 12 weeks, Transgender Restrictions for Children
(Worthy News) – A Nebraska judge upheld the state’s bans on abortion after 12 weeks and gender-affirming care on Friday, dealing a blow to advocacy groups who had challenged the law.
Nebraska passed the bans together in May, combining the two policies in a last-second amendment. Lawmakers attempted to pass a 6-week abortion ban earlier this year but fell short by one vote.
The abortion section of the law carries exceptions for pregnancies as a result of rape and incest, and to save the life of the mother. The gender-affirming care ban will apply to people 18 and younger starting Oct. 1, including restrictions on transgender surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
