PILLEN RALLIES ABORTION OPPONENTS AT NEBRASKA WALK FOR LIFE TO FIGHT AGAINST ABORTION BALLOT INITIATIVE

LINCOLN- Thousands of Nebraska abortion opponents marched on Saturday from the Nebraska State Capitol to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for the annual Walk for Life. Gov. Pillen, alongside all five members of Nebraska's congressional delegation, attended the march, focusing much of their attention on a potential ballot initiative to enshrine abortion in the State Constitution.

"Not all of us agree on everything," Pillen told the crowd, "But we have to be together...to win the ballot...to make sure that we save as many babies growing in mothers' wombs as possible." Pillen finished by saying that people trying to end abortion in the state need to do a better job connecting with people on a one-to-one level.

Sandy Danek, of Nebraska Right to Life, told the crowd that many Nebraskans don't understand how much of the work the anti-abortion movement's work the proposed constitutional amendment could erase. She said the amendment would allow abortions up to 22 to 24 weeks gestational age, with the possibility for a doctor to decide if an abortion is necessary past that point. "We have to form a coalition," Danek said, "like we have never done before."
