Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has signed a bill that bans abortion at 12 weeks of pregnancy and restricts gender-affirming medical care for people under 19, with opponents of the bill promising to sue to try and block it. The bill is the latest in a series of restrictions on abortion and gender-affirming care that Republicans have been pushing for across the United States, and has been met with criticism from those who argue that it will cause irreparable harm to young people in the state.
