2024 Nebraska Initiative 439

November 5, 2024

Nebraska Right to Abortion Initiative
Shall the Nebraska Constitution be amended to include a new section which provides: “All persons shall have a fundamental right to abortion until fetal viability, or when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient, without interference from the state or its political subdivisions. Fetal viability means the point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient’s treating health care practitioner, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus’ sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures.

Nebraska Initiative 439, officially titled "Nebraska Right to Abortion Initiative", is a proposed constitutional amendment that will appear on the November 5, 2024 ballot in Nebraska. If passed, it would amend the Nebraska Constitution to establish a right to abortion until fetal viability.[1]
