Nebraska senators debate LB 669, requiring abortion providers to screen patients for abuse, sparking concerns over privacy, trauma, and vague language.
Nebraska senators continue debating LB 669, a bill requiring abortion providers to screen patients for domestic violence or human trafficking, citing potential to identify vulnerable individuals.
Supporters say it aids victims without restricting access, while critics argue existing laws are sufficient and warn the measure may deter disclosures, cause emotional harm, and lacks safeguards.
Concerns include vague language and the presence of abusers during screenings.
The debate, ongoing on its third day, will resume with 47 minutes of discussion left.
The bill must pass with a majority vote to advance.
