Nebraska Democratic Party Statement on the failure of LB626, Abortion access remains legal in Nebraska
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issued the following response to the Nebraska Legislature’s motion to end debate and kill LB626 on a 32-15 vote. Abortion remains legal in Nebraska:
“Today, Democrats were joined by 1 Republican to protect women’s reproductive freedom in our state. If it were up to the other state senators, women would have lost a right we held for over half a century. The Democratic Party plans to take this issue to the voters during the 2024 elections so they know which senators wanted to take away their reproductive rights and freedom to make health decisions for ourselves and our families. We thank the state senators, doctors, and grassroots advocates for never giving up and for showing the entire nation that we will not back down from a fight to protect our families.”
