Nebraska bill banning abortions when cardiac activity is detected passes first round of debate

[RandySF]

LINCOLN — Nebraska anti-abortion advocates celebrated clearing a major legislative hurdle Wednesday in a decades-long effort to curb what they call “elective abortions,” or abortions by choice.

Every Republican in the Legislature and one Democrat, State Sen. Mike McDonnell of Omaha, provided the 33 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Lawmakers gave first-round passage to Legislative Bill 626 by a 33-16 margin.

The bill, introduced by State Sen. Joni Albrecht of Thurston, would outlaw abortions after a required ultrasound detects embryonic cardiac activity. That is typically at about six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant.

Albrecht described the first-round passage of LB 626 as “monumental” for Nebraska.

“This is about elective abortions,” she said about her bill’s intent. “I know every woman and every child deserves love. We can protect their lives.”

1. Fucking bullshit lies from these religious degenerates.

The only thing they love is themselves.

2. The very definition of Republicans: heartbeats without hearts.

3. Every child deserves love ...

From the same crowd that support guns over kids, cutting poverty aid programs, forced child marriage, and ripping babies from a mother's arms and tossing them in cages for the great sin of being born on the wrong side of that big beautiful effing wall.

There is not one single thing any of them can say to convince me they care anything abour someone else's child let alone the moms.

4. How Are They Defining "Cardiac Activity"?

Because those sounds you hear at about 6 weeks that people THINK are the heartbeat........are not a heartbeat. Because the embryo has no heart at that age. Hard to have a heartbeat when you have no heart.

5. Should we tell these assholes that there is no heart

when heart cells are first formed?
