On the proposed six-week ban, one of the co-sponsors of the bill is Democratic state senator Mike McDonnell (District 5) of Omaha.

Thirty-one senators supporting the bill leaves it two votes shy of being able to overcome a filibuster when it reaches the floor of the Unicameral.

Leading the charge against the bill is Democratic Omaha state senator Megan Hunt (District 8). She successfully tanked last session’s attempt to ban abortion. At the time, the Nebraska Medical Association refused to take a position on that bill; a massive caller and letter campaign to physicians throughout the state pushed the NMA to oppose this bill.

Polling (except for one religious outfit) shows the state’s voters are opposed to this about 2-to-1.
