Nebraska: Life on the Ballot

‘This is the most important election of our lifetime.” Each election cycle touts this mantra. And while it’s true each election presents its own set of unique challenges, opportunities, and consequences, this one is different. Ten states have abortion directly on the ballot, and voters are thus charged with casting clear up or down votes affecting life or death itself. This mantra has never been truer.

For the first time in history, voters in Nebraska will have two competing abortion initiatives on their ballot: one pro-life and one pro-abortion. No other state has attempted this strategy. The outcome of these initiatives will have broad implications not only for women, children, and vulnerable baby boys and girls in Nebraska, but for the entire country and the future of the pro-life movement.
