Nebraska’s Republican state legislature is trying to strip away the rights of many Americans with the power of one devastating bill. The bill in question is
“You are willing to drive this state into the ground. You look ridiculous. Women will die, children are dying, and you are responsible.”
And she’s right, restricting access to healthcare, whatever form it may be in, has the potential to do harm to a countless number of people in this country. The Republican lawmakers responsible for pushing this bill forward seem to be extremely aware that their actions have upset those who believe in human rights— they just don’t seem to care.Republican Governor Jim Pillen has said he will sign the amended bill into law.
The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning that as soon as it is signed off on by Governor Pillen, it will go into action. LB 574 is just one more example of the influx of anti-trans and anti-abortion legislation that has been cropping up around the country. It’s a scary time for many of those whose rights are on the line. However, knowing that there are elected officials such as Cavanaugh that are willing to do whatever it takes to protect our rights helps us sleep just a little better at night. While it may seem like there’s not much to do but sit and wait at this time, don’t let that deter you from taking action.
