Nebraska lawmakers are set to take up debate late Tuesday on a plan that would tack on a proposed 12-week abortion ban to a bill that would ban gender care for transgender minors.
The combination of the two highly contentious measures sets up what could be one of the most volatile debates of the session.
Conservatives were stung last month when their bill to ban abortion after cardiac activity can be detected - which happens around six weeks of pregnancy, before most women even know they’re pregnant - failed to break a filibuster by a single vote. Adding to the tumult is the underlying trans health bill, which has been the most contentious of the session. Introduced by freshman Sen. Kathleen Kauth, the bill would ban hormone treatments, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for anyone 18 and younger.
The introduction of the trans health ban led Omaha Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh in late February to vow she would “burn the session to the ground” if it advanced. When the conservative Health and Human Services Committee advanced it anyway, Cavanaugh began an epic filibuster of every single bill before the body - even ones she supports - until the trans health ban was pulled or killed.
