Governor Pillen Calls on Senator to Reconsider Heartbeat Vote
LINCOLN, NE – Governor Pillen issued the following statement in response to state senators failing to advance the Nebraska Heartbeat Act:
"I am a staunch defender of Life and supporter of the Nebraska Heartbeat Act. I am profoundly disappointed in the cloture vote today. It is unacceptable for senators to be present not voting on such a momentous vote. I call on Senator Merv Riepe to make a motion to reconsider and stand by the commitments to Life he has made in the past."
