Nebraska ballot will include competing measures to expand or limit abortion rights
The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday that competing measures that would expand or limit abortion rights can appear on the November ballot.
The high court’s ruling came days after it heard arguments in three lawsuits that sought to keep one or both of the competing abortion initiatives off the November ballot.
Organizers for each measure turned in more than 200,000 signatures, which was well over the 123,000 required valid ones needed to get them on the ballot.
An organizer for the measure to expand abortion rights called the decision a “victory for all Nebraskans.”
