In Nebraska, Initiative 439, Right to Abortion Initiative, will appear on the ballot this Fall to amend the Constitution to allow more abortion, more easily, and later in pregnancy.
Priests for Life is joining with pro-life people throughout the state to defeat this initiative, by means of educational efforts, direct contact with voters, broadcasting, press releases, communication with Churches, prayer campaigns, and much more.
Below you will find more information about the ballot measure and what you can do to fight it.
Measures like this are on the ballot in nine other states. These measures, while worded differently from state to state, all mean more abortions with fewer limits, fewer health safeguards, and less involvement of parents and doctors. Furthermore, they all mean that the people and their lawmakers could no longer pass laws protecting the unborn or regulating abortion, and that any such laws already on the books would be successfully struck down when challenged in Court.
Voters should vote NO on these abortion amendments. To find out more about all of them, see our page www.StateBallotMeasures.org.
Nebraska has the unique situation of having two abortion amendments on the ballot, one pro-abortion and the other pro-life.
