As a lawmaker, it is not my place put my personal beliefs ahead of a doctor’s best recommendation, but that’s what my #NELeg colleagues are doing with LB 814. This bill would block women like Missy from getting the abortion care that was right for her. Here is her story:

“It was pouring outside as I rode to the hospital for my mid-pregnancy ultrasound … What the doctor said was a blur. The next few days were a whirlwind of genetic tests, blood tests, MRIs, amniocentesis punctuated by excruciating waiting periods.” 2/6
“We made lists. We weighed the pros and cons, pored over medical journals, took long, soul-searching walks, made the mistake of Googling and then quickly closed Google.” 3/6
“Ending my pregnancy was the most selfless act of love I have ever committed. Our choice came from a place deeper than philosophy, deeper than religion, and deeper even than science; it came from instinct.” 4/6
“Deep down we knew that parents make choices on behalf of their children every day; to maximize their chances of health and happiness and minimize their pain and suffering.” 5/6 Misty's story is one that thousands of Nebraska women can relate to.
Every pregnancy is different, which is why a one-size-fits-all law has no place in our healthcare. LB814 makes it a felony for doctors to use their best judgment and provide the standard of care. There is no medical reason to restrict this care—only political reasons. 6/6
Back when I worked there, the paid shills for the forced-birth Industry would usually find a man to introduce their woman-hating bills. Now they have the likes of Suzanne Geist to do it instead of the boys, and carpetbaggers like Hilgers to prop her up.
