Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen signs abortion, gender care restrictions into law

LINCOLN — Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Monday signed into law new restrictions on abortion and gender-affirming care for minors, which opponents vowed to fight until the very end.

Legislative Bill 574, proposed by State Sen. Kathleen Kauth of Omaha, passed 33-15 last Friday on the final round of debate. The measure includes an approximate 10-week abortion ban (12 weeks gestational age) and restrictions on transition surgeries, hormone therapies and puberty blockers for youths.

“Today is an extraordinary, historic day for the State of Nebraska,” Pillen said at a signing ceremony. “It’s a day where it’s really simple: Protect our kids so that our state has a bigger and brighter future.”

Under the law, the chief medical officer and Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services would be charged with setting the rules and regulations around the puberty blockers and hormones for patients before the age of 19. Transition surgeries would be prohibited.

1. And with this they sentenced some kids to a tragic life and probably suicide. Go against

all medical advice, people that know what they are talking about, and these lame brains pass crap like this. The stupidity of many in America and in positions of power is truly frightening for the future of the US.

3. Has abortion ever been put on a state ballot? Can't believe it'd not pass, even in Utah.

2. I cannot believe between Omaha and Lincoln that this guy gets elected.
