LB 626, the Nebraska Heartbeat Act, was voted out of the Health and Human Services Committee last week! This is a vital step in the legislative process that paves the way for the bill to be debated by the full legislature in the coming weeks.
If LB 626 is passed, it will protect preborn babies with heartbeats from abortion. It will require an ultrasound to be performed before an abortion, and, if a fetal heartbeat is detected, no abortion may be performed.
