"Many Nebraskans don't understand how much of the anti-abortion movement's work the proposed amendment could erase. The amendment would allow abortions up to 22 to 24 weeks gestational age, and it would leave the decision up to individual doctors who might go longer." - Sandy Danek, Nebraska Right to Life, in opposition to Initiative Measure 439 (Learn more)
"There are many reasons why someone may make the deeply personal decision to have an abortion. Most Nebraskans agree that the government should not be involved in personal decisions that are better left to patients, their faith, and their healthcare providers. Nebraskans deserve the right to make their own decisions about pregnancy and abortion." - ACLU of Nebraska, Protect our Rights Campaign, in support of Initiative Measure 439 (Learn more)
Article I of the Nebraska Constitution shall be amended by adding a new section 31 as shown: All persons shall have a fundamental right to abortion until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient, without interference from the state or its political subdivisions. Fetal viability means the point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient's treating health care practitioner, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus' sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures.
