State Sen. Ben Hansen has added a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/north-carolina-passes-12-week-abortion-ban\/\" title=\"NC approves 12<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vogue-magazine-help-freezing-texans-by-paying-for-their-travel-to-get-an-abortion\/\" title=\"Vogue Magazine: Help Freezing Texans By Paying For Their Travel To Get An Abortion\">-week abortion ban<\/a>.&#8221;>12-week abortion ban<\/a> as an amendment to a separate bill that seeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-doj-warns-red-states-not-to-restrict-transgender-surgeries-for-kids\/\" title=\"Biden DOJ Warns Red States Not to Restrict Transgender Surgeries for Kids\">restrict transgender surgeries<\/a> for minors. The ban includes exceptions for rape, incest, and medical emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents have criticized this move, claiming it breaks Nebraska\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-tries-to-revive-abortion-ban-bills-in-south-carolina-and-nebraska\/\" title=\"GOP revives abortion ban bills in SC and NE.\">single-topic bill rule<\/a>. However, proponents argue that both issues are related to medical procedures. Hansen\u2019s amendment aims to resurrect a failed legislation that sought to introduce a \u201cheartbeat\u201d bill, which would have decreased Nebraska\u2019s current 20-week abortion cut-off to six weeks. That measure fell just one vote short of breaking a filibuster.<\/p>\n<h3>South Carolina<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, in South Carolina, where abortion remains legal through 22 weeks of pregnancy, lawmakers are pursuing their own \u201cheartbeat\u201d abortion ban after six weeks. Their legislation includes some exceptions to a ban.<\/p>\n<p>The state\u2019s Supreme Court overturned a previous six-week abortion ban, but lawmakers are determined to try again. <\/p>\n<h3>Republican Infighting<\/h3>\n<p>These renewed efforts to restrict abortions have caused infighting among Republicans. In Nebraska, Republican state Sen. Merv Riepe abstained from the vote on the six-week ban, concerned that it wasn\u2019t enough time for a woman to know if she is pregnant. He attempted to introduce an amendment to ban abortions after 12 weeks, but it wasn\u2019t given a vote. Riepe was publicly reprimanded by Republicans and Gov. Jim Pillen, who supported the failed measure. The Nebraska Republican Party issued a statement warning that Riepe would be censured.<\/p>\n<p>Riepe noted that abortion was a key issue in his district during the last election, in which his margin of victory was reduced in the face of a Democrat opponent who made abortion a central campaign issue. He believes that Republicans must embrace the future of reproductive rights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nebraska state Sen. Ben Hansen has added a 12-week abortion ban as an amendment to a separate bill that seeks to restrict transgender surgeries for minors.<\/li>\n<li>South Carolina lawmakers are pursuing their own \u201cheartbeat\u201d abortion ban after six weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Republican infighting has occurred in Nebraska over the issue of abortion restrictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether these renewed efforts to restrict abortions will be successful, but they highlight the ongoing debate over reproductive rights in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GOP lawmakers in\u00a0Nebraska and South Carolina are renewing their push to strengthen restrictions on abortions two weeks after previous bills were defeated.
