Nebraskans are voting on two competing abortion ballot measures.
One, backed by Protect Our Rights, a coalition of abortion rights advocates, would guarantee a constitutional right to abortion up to the point of fetal viability.
The other amendment, backed by anti-abortion groups, would ban most abortions after about 12 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for threats to the life of the pregnant patient, rape and incest — similar to current law.
The measure that gains the highest number of votes that is also a majority will pass.
