Planned Parenthood prepared to continue serving patients in Nebraska in accordance with new bans  

LINCOLN, Neb. - Today, Gov. Pillen signed a 12-week abortion ban and a ban on certain gender-affirming care for minors into law in Nebraska. The abortion ban will go into effect tomorrow, Tuesday, and the gender affirming care ban will go into effect on October 1. 

“We are devastated about the cruel and harmful bans signed into law today,” said Ruth Richardson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood North Central States. “We will do everything we can to help patients in Nebraska. We will continue offering abortion as allowed in the new law, and we will help patients get connected to the help they need to get to appointments out of state. We are working every day to provide people the health care they need. Politicians have made our work unnecessarily harder, but our doors are open and we’ll keep doing everything we can for patients and communities.”  

Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS) does not anticipate any changes to health center locations or staffing because of the new bans. Any patients with questions or interested in making an appointment, should call 1.800.230.7526.  

“We know that health care restrictions uniquely impact marginalized communities most,” said Richardson. “People of color, people with low incomes, the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and people in rural areas face more barriers to health care. We will keep working to shrink health inequities and expand health care to all. Every person deserves the freedom to control their lives, bodies, and futures.”
