We had great grand rounds today at conference! A huge thanks to @NikkiRomanik and Abbey Lowe for joining us to talk about pandemic preparedness and health equity importance in planning and response! #emresidency#biopreparedness@UNMC_GCHS
Nebraska, you did it. Every call, email, meeting, green shirt, and trip to the capitol is why abortion access will remain in place. LB626 failed to overcome the filibuster by 1 vote. #neleg
Merv Riepe, 80-yr-old Omaha Republican seen until recently as reliable pro-life vote, withholds 33rd vote needed to pass 6-week abortion ban — effectively killing bill for 2023.
Abortion remains legal in Nebraska up to 20 weeks post-fertilization.
BIG DEAL: LB 626, Nebraska's proposed 6-week abortion ban, is dead. A vote to end debate failed by a single vote.
Seems largely thanks to Omaha Sen. Merv Riepe (R). He intro'd an amendment to instead tighten current law to 12 wks post-fertilization ban. His vote: "not voting."
Congratulations to GCHS Associate Director of Research, Lauren Sauer, MSc!
