Voters Pass Amendment to End Late-Term Abortion
LINCOLN, Neb. – SBA Pro-Life America this evening released the following statement in response to pro-life Initiative 434 succeeding over pro-abortion Initiative 439.
âWe celebrate the lives that will be saved with the triumph of Initiative 434 over the ACLUâs attempt to enshrine all-trimester abortion in the constitution,â said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. âThanks to leadership from Sen. Pete Ricketts, Gov. Jim Pillen and GOP leaders, abortion industry lies were challenged and the radical implications of Initiative 439 were exposed while a reasonable alternative was advanced.
âNebraskans have spoken to reinforce the compassionate policy of protecting babies after the first trimester and reject the ACLUâs amendment for late-term abortions. Planned Parenthoodâs ploy to force taxpayers to fund abortions, end all health regulations on their industry and stop parents from having a say in their daughtersâ lives has failed.
âNebraskaâs victory shows that when the GOP invests time and money to fight ballot measures, life wins on the ballot. If Republicans in states with future ballot fights model Pete Rickettsâ courage and involvement, we will secure more victories for women and babies in the womb.â
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
