Nebraska Initiative 434, officially titled "Nebraska Protect Women & Children Initiative" or "Prohibit Abortions After the First Trimester Amendment", and listed on the ballot as Initiative Measure 434, is a proposed constitutional amendment that appeared on the November 5, 2024 ballot in Nebraska. If passed, it would uphold the Nebraska Constitution by establish current 12-week abortion ban, passed by the Legislature in 2023, which includes exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the pregnant woman.[1] It and Initiative 439 were mutually exclusive; only the one with more votes in favor would pass in the event both amendments got majority voter support.
The amendment was approved by voters with 55% voting for it.[2]
