Nebraska lawmakers considering abortion exception for fatal fetal anomaly
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Lawmakers and community members sat in the Nebraska state capitol on Thursday listening to Sen. Merv Riepe’s remarks on his bill.
It’s known as LB 1109, which could potentially give more flexibility to those who decide to get an abortion.
“We’re stuck in a complex place of identifying the rights of an individual, the rights of the preborn, and the application of modern medicine,” Riepe said.
LB 1109 would allow people to get an abortion within 20 weeks into a pregnancy with the exception of fatal fetal anomaly. This is described as a situation when doctors do not expect a child to survive after birth.
“It’s designed to require that not one but two practitioners make the diagnosis and stand behind it that death is likely the outcome,” Riepe said.
The bill states those two doctors are then required to put in ‘writing’ a medical emergency existed for an abortion to be performed. It would also protect the mother and doctors from receiving a penalty for the abortion.
Those in favor of the bill argued it’s a decision entirely based on the parents. Others who were against it said it’s unfair to the unborn child.
“It’s a health care option for those who want a child that nature gave them the short end of the stick,” Tiffany Palmer said.
“It would be unjust to allow Nebraskans to intentionally end the life of an innocent child,” Isabella Orsi said. “It’s still growing in their child’s womb, just because that child is considered less than due to their physical condition.”
This bill also proposes that abortions performed because of sexual assault and incest within those 20 weeks must also be certified in writing.
Currently, it’s allowed in the state for any expecting mother to get an abortion within 12 weeks of a pregnancy.

A Nebraska legend made a significant announcement on Saturday. Former Husker Ndamukong Suh announced on social media that he is officially retiring from professional football.
In a post exceeding 300 words, Suh laid out his decision, reminiscing about his father’s passing, which had occurred one year prior.
“Before he passed, he gave me one final piece of advice,” Suh said in his post. “It’s time to let football go. You’ve done everything you set out to do. Now it’s time for the next chapter.”
Suh’s been out of NFL play since 2022, last donning a jersey for the Philadelphia Eagles, making eight regular-season appearances with the team. He finished with 10 total tackles and one sack in that stretch.
Suh spent 13 seasons in the NFL after being selected second overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2010 draft. He wasted no time becoming a major force to be reckoned with in the NFL, winning the defensive rookie of the year and becoming a first-team All-Pro.
Suh earned two more first-team All-Pros for the Lions before joining the Miami Dolphins and becoming the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history at the time. He spent three years with the Dolphins before signing with the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then closed his career with the Eagles.
Suh appeared in three Super Bowls in his NFL career, one with each of his final three teams. He hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy with the Buccaneers in 2020.
Alongside his retirement, Suh also revealed his plans moving forward, announcing he created a podcast called No Free Lunch.
“It’s about real conversations, real strategy, and real education,” Suh said. “Because freedom doesn’t come from fame, it comes from knowledge and how you move.”
At Nebraska, Suh won a slew of awards in his Husker tenure, including in his senior year, becoming a Heisman Finalist and the first defensive player to win the Associated Press College Player of the Year Award.
He led Nebraska in tackles for two straight seasons, racking up 85 in his senior year, the most by a defensive lineman since 1974. Suh also led the Huskers in tackles for loss (24), sacks (12), quarterback hurries (26), and blocked kicks (3) in 2009.
His 24 tackles for loss ranked him second on the Nebraska season list, and his 12 sacks ranked him third in school history. He also holds the school record for career interceptions by a Nebraska lineman, snatching four in his college career.
Suh finished his Husker run with 215 career tackles, ranking him 24th in school history and fourth among defensive linemen. He also tallied 57 career tackles for loss, 1.5 behind the school record holder, Grant Wistrom. He also finished fourth in school history in career sacks, with 24 career sacks, which is tied for fourth in Nebraska history.

Former Nebraska baseball pitcher Brett Sears was called up to AAA on Friday afternoon, as he made the move to the Gwinnett Stripers. The announcement was made on social media on Friday.
Sears went 3-3 with a 3.65 ERA. He had 34 strikeouts and a. 187 batting average against. The Atlanta Braves selected him in the seventh round of the 2024 MLB draft.
It should be no surprise to Nebraska baseball fans, as they watched Sears put together a dominating career on the mound. All told, he went 11-6 over the course of four seasons, along with 155 strikeouts in 171 innings pitched. He sported a 3.84 ERA in total and was dominant for Nebraska on several occasions.
Now, it appears he is playing at a high level in the minor leagues. It will be interesting to see how quickly he makes it to the pros, as he continues to rise up the minor league ranks. This certainly speaks to the Huskers’ recent success at the minor league level.
