Arrests and Protests at Nebraska State Capitol Over Abortion and Trans Rights.

Six people were arrested at the Nebraska state capitol building during protests against a bill that bans abortions after 12 weeks and restricts gender transition procedures for those under 19. The arrests took place after protesters threw what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the legislative floor. The bill passed after Republicans got enough votes to end a filibuster. The 12-week abortion ban has exceptions for rape and incest, and the bill wouldn’t allow transgender people under 19 years old to undergo gender surgery but with few exceptions.
