The 老澳门开奖结果 (老澳门开奖结果), 老澳门开奖结果 of Nebraska and Powers Law litigated the case, which hinged on the argument that state senators had violated the Nebraska Constitution\u2019s requirement that \u201cno bill shall contain more than one subject.\u201d\r\n\r\nAlthough today\u2019s opinion rejected the state\u2019s argument that the single-subject rule is a nonjusticiable \u2018political question\u2019 that can never be enforced by the courts, it agreed with the attorney general\u2019s argument and an earlier Lancaster County District Court ruling that the provisions were linked by a general connection to health care \u2014 enough to meet the state constitution\u2019s single-subject requirement.\r\n\r\nJustice Miller-Lerman dissented from the majority\u2019s interpretation of the single-subject requirement. Miller-Lerman wrote that it is not the justices\u2019 role \u201cto scour the bill in hopes of finding one subject that could conceivably explain inclusion of very different acts in one bill.\u201d\r\n\r\nRuth Richardson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood North Central States, made this statement on today\u2019s decision:<\/b>\r\n\r\n\u201cIt is nothing short of heart-wrenching and infuriating to know that Nebraskans will continue to be denied the say they deserve in what should be private medical decisions. This ban has already devastated Nebraskans\u2019 lives and will undoubtedly widen dangerous health inequities for people in rural areas, people of color, people with low incomes and young people,\u201d Richardson said.<\/b> \u201cWe understand that Nebraskans may feel anxious about their ability to access an abortion \u2014 now and in the future. We will proudly continue providing abortion care up to 12 weeks and we remain dedicated to helping our patients in Nebraska access the care they so desperately need, even if it means having to travel out of state. We will never stop fighting for freedom, bodily autonomy and the health of our communities.\u201d\r\n\r\nMindy Rush Chipman, executive director of 老澳门开奖结果 of Nebraska, made this statement:<\/b>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe respectfully disagree with the court majority\u2019s determination, and we had of course hoped for a very different outcome,\u201d Rush Chipman said. <\/b>\u201cBut looking beyond the legal arguments of this specific case, it is so important that Nebraskans do not lose sight of the impact of these restrictions. Nebraskans have been harmed every week since the governor signed LB 574 into law. That will continue under today\u2019s ruling. However, this case will not be the final word on abortion access and the rights of trans youth and their families in Nebraska. Despite this loss, we will continue to do all that we can to ensure that Nebraskans can make their own private decisions about their lives, families and futures.\u201d\r\n\r\nGov. Jim Pillen signed the challenged bill into law in May of 2023. The 12-week abortion ban took effect that month. Restrictions on medical care for trans youth took effect in October of 2023."}}],"drupal_node_id":"","email":"media@aclu.org","phone":"(212) 549-2666","address":{"address_1":"125 Broad Street","address_2":"18th Floor","city":"New York","state":"NY","zip_code":10004,"country":"United States"},"pgp_public_key":"","issues":[46316,46745,46567,46569,46701,46781],"press_releases_related_to_cases":[110178],"spokesperson":"","related_affiliates":[357],"related_content_documents":"","related_content_publications":""},"yoast_head":"\nNebraska Supreme Court Upholds State\u2019s 12-Week Abortion Ban and Transgender Care Restrictions | 老澳门开奖结果<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-states-12-week-abortion-ban-and-trangender-care-restrictions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds State\u2019s 12-Week Abortion Ban and Transgender Care Restrictions | 老澳门开奖结果\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-states-12-week-abortion-ban-and-trangender-care-restrictions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"老澳门开奖结果\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-07-26T21:02:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@aclu\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-states-12-week-abortion-ban-and-trangender-care-restrictions\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-states-12-week-abortion-ban-and-trangender-care-restrictions\",\"name\":\"Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds State\u2019s 12-Week Abortion Ban and Transgender Care Restrictions | 老澳门开奖结果\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-07-26T14:30:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-07-26T21:02:58+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-states-12-week-abortion-ban-and-trangender-care-restrictions\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/\",\"name\":\"老澳门开奖结果\",\"description\":\"The 老澳门开奖结果 dares to create a more perfect union \u2014 beyond one person, party, or side.
