Nebraska enacts controversial laws restricting abortion and gender-affirming care.

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed a bill into law that bans most abortions after 12 weeks, with exceptions for sexual assault, incest, and medical emergencies. The bill also bans gender-affirming care for people under 19 years old, except for medical procedures after a "waiting period" and "therapeutic hours" to determine if a person's gender dysphoria is "long-lasting and intense." The new law reflects ongoing legislative efforts around the US to restrict access to abortion and gender-affirming care.
