Two bills, which would have protected most preborn children from abortion in both Nebraska and South Carolina, have both been defeated. In Nebraska, LB 626, or the Nebraska Heartbeat Act, had been introduced by Senator Joni Albrecht in January. Currently, preborn children are protected from abortion in the state after 20 weeks gestation; LB 626 would have protected them after a heartbeat can be detected, typically at six weeks gestation. The bill narrowly failed to pass, coming short just one vote to break filibuster. “Our hearts are broken for the lives who will suffer from this decision, but it’s not over,” Nebraska Right to Life said in a statement. “We will continue fighting to protect babies and mothers in our state.”  Gov. Jim Pillen also criticized the vote, singling out Senator Merv Riepe, who chose not to vote. “I am profoundly disappointed in the cloture vote today,” he said.… Read more »

Pro-Life states are gearing up for a lawsuit against the Biden administration after Joe Biden finalized a plan to turn VA hospitals into abortion clinics. The Department of Veterans Affairs said it plans to kill babies in abortions in cases of rape or incest or in cases where the mother’s life or health is in danger, even though doctors repeatedly say abortions are never medically necessary. But, states like Alabama and Arkansas will likely be leading the way in defending their abortion bans from the federal government usurping them by authorizing VA hospitals to sell dangerous abortion drugs or do surgical abortions ending the lives of unborn children. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said last week he would enforce his state’s abortion ban, which outlaws all abortions except in cases that threaten the life of the pregnant person, against any practitioner who violates it. “I have no intention of abdicating… Read more »
