LINCOLN — Longtime leaders in Nebraska’s anti-abortion movement gathered to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court decision that several described as the end of the beginning of their efforts to make abortion illegal in Nebraska.

Roughly 100 people were joined by former Gov. Kay Orr and Lt. Gov. Mike Foley at a rally held at the Nebraska Republican Party headquarters. 50 people attended a Students for Life rally on the State Capitol steps two hours later to support the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

“I’ve been involved in the pro-life movement for over 40 years, and over all those years, I always knew that we would get to this day,” Foley said. “I didn’t know that I would live to see the day, but we did. God works in mysterious ways.”

Attendees pushed back against local groups that claim a majority of Nebraskans support keeping abortion legal and safe, based on polling shared publicly by the Nebraska Democratic Party and Democratic-leaning organizations.

The GOP rally also sought to draw more attention toward this week's special election that occurred in the Lincoln-centered 1st Congressional District.
