Back to EpisodesEp. 83 - Profit Over People: Senators Block Bill Protecting Women from Trafficking & Forced Abortions
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
In a shocking vote, the Nebraska Legislature failed to advance a bill to protect women from human trafficking and forced abortions by two votes after pro-choice senators filibustered the bill and blocked common-sense protections.
LB 669 would require abortion providers to screen for coercion, domestic violence, and human trafficking before performing an abortion, and ensure women were informed of available resources.
Hear what really happened during the debate, and what we should take away from the vote.
