Hundreds of people crowded the halls of the Nebraska state Capitol for a committee hearing on a so-called heartbeat bill that would outlaw abortion at a point before many women even know they’re pregnant.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Hundreds of people crowded the halls of the Nebraska state Capitol on Wednesday for a committeethat would outlaw abortion at a point before many women even know they’re pregnant.
Lawmakers opposed to the ban have already attempted to throw up roadblocks to thwart the measure. Several attended a protest held in the Capitol rotunda just before Wednesday's hearing that drew around 300 people opposed to the ban, including medical professionals and clergy. Hunt also led a push to move the bill out of the conservative-leaning HHS committee, where it is almost certain to be advanced, and into the more politically balanced Judiciary Committee. She and other lawmakers argued that because the proposal would criminalize most abortions, it should be heard by the Judiciary Committee.
