ACLU Sues to Block Nebraska Law Restricting Abortions, Gender-Affirming Care
- The ACLU filed a lawsuit requesting a court order blocking restrictions on abortions after 12 weeks and gender-affirming care for minors in Nebraska's new law.
- The ACLU argues the law violates Nebraska's constitution by addressing multiple subjects in one bill.
- The law prevents people under 19 from receiving gender-confirming surgery and limits hormone treatments and puberty blockers.
- The law bans abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest, and life endangerment.
- Lawmakers had warned the bill would face legal challenges due to the single subject rule in Nebraska's constitution.
