Prepare for November Ballot Issues
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod believes that abortion is contrary to God’s Word and “is not a moral option, except as a tragically unavoidable byproduct of medical procedures necessary to prevent the death of another human being, viz, the mother” (1979 Res. 3-l02A). Two initiatives concerning abortion will be on the Nebraska ballot this November. The Pro-abortion ballot initiative 439, “Protect Our Rights,” would legalize abortion until birth, subject preborn children to painful late-term dismemberment abortions, put girls at greater risk for human trafficking, and eliminate parental notification requirements. The pro-life ballot initiative 434, “Protect Women & Children,” asserts that life is a human right, and women, children, and families in Nebraska deserve real love and support, not dangerous proposals that jeopardize the health and safety of women and end the lives of precious baby boys and girls. Nebraska is a pro-life state, and our laws should reflect our pro-life values.
