Competing abortion measures can appear on November’s ballot, Nebraska supreme court says

One measure would enshrine the state's current 12-week ban, while the other would allow abortion up to 24 weeks

Nebraska residents will vote this November on two competing ballot measures to expand or limit abortion rights, the state supreme court ruled on Friday.

One of the measures that will be put to voters would enshrine Nebraska's current abortion ban, which outlaws the procedure past 12 weeks of pregnancy, into the state constitution. The other would amend the state constitution to add the right to abortion up until fetal viability, or at about 24 weeks of pregnancy.
