A look at 6 ballot issues on general election ballot

Nebraskans will vote on six ballot issues during this fall’s general election, including competing initiatives on the issue of abortion.

Here’s a rundown of three of those ballot issues, those concerning abortion and paid sick leave: – Initiative 434, titled the “Protect Women and Children” initiative, would, if approved, place the state’s current policy on abortion, which allows the procedure only during the first 12 weeks of gestation, into the State Constitution.

A “yes” vote for Initiative 434 would ban abortion in the second and third trimester, except in cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is in danger.
