State Sen. Steve Halloran seemed utterly confused about the difference between sex and pregnancy.
He added, “No one’s forcing anyone to be pregnant.

Nebraska 6-week abortion ban fails to advance in LegislatureAn effort to advance a bill that would ban abortion once cardiac activity can be detected, generally around the sixth week of pregnancy, fell one vote short Thursday of breaking a filibuster in the Nebraska Legislature. That means the bill is unlikely to move forward this year. It was the second straight year that an effort to restrict abortion access in the state failed.
