Nebraska Voters Uphold 12-Week Abortion Ban in 2024 Election

Nebraska voters have approved a ballot measure to enshrine the state's current 12-week abortion ban in the constitution, with 55% support, while a competing measure to expand abortion access received 49% support. This decision marks a setback for reproductive rights advocates in the state. The measure needed a majority and at least 35% of total votes cast to pass, with the one receiving more votes being adopted if both cleared the threshold.
