NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. — Voters in Nebraska will decide on two abortion-related ballot measures on Nov. 5. The ballot initiatives would contradict. One, the Right to Abortion Initiative, would amend the Nebraska Constitution to provide for a state constitutional right to abortion until fetal viability. The other ballot measure, the Prohibit Abortions After the First Trimester Initiative, would prohibit abortion in the second and third trimesters, except for medical emergencies or when a pregnancy results from sexual assault or incest.
With the certification of the two ballot initiatives, the total number of abortion-related ballot measures on the ballot in 2024 to 11—the most on record for any given year. There are no more abortion-related measures pending for the general election.
