Nebraska Right to Life has worked for decades to advance policies that protect human life and support women and families across Nebraska. We work directly with state senators, testify before legislative committees, track legislation and mobilize our statewide grassroots network when action is needed.
Working to Protect Life in Nebraska Law
For decades, Nebraska Right to Life has worked at the State Capitol to advance legislation that protects vulnerable human life and builds a culture in which every person is valued. Our legislative work goes far beyond supporting individual bills. We work directly with policymakers to draft bills, provide testimony, monitor legislation, and equip Nebraskans across the state to make their voices heard.
Lasting change happens when strong public policy is backed by an informed and engaged grassroots movement.
That connection between the Capitol and pro-life communities across Nebraska is at the heart of our legislative work.
What’s Happening at the Capitol
Each legislative session brings new opportunities to protect life in Nebraska.
Nebraska Right to Life closely follows legislation affecting women, preborn children, families, individuals with disabilities, and those who are near end of life. Whether we support or oppose this legislation, we closely track, testify often and lobby directly with State Senators to ensure life-affirming legislation receives the pro-life community’s support and destructive or pro-abortion legislation is blocked from passing.
Our Current Legislation page provides updates on priority bills, where they are in the legislative process, Nebraska Right to Life’s position and opportunities for you to take action.
How We Move Pro-Life Policy Forward
Nebraska Right to Life works throughout the legislative process to help turn prolife principles into meaningful, life-affirming legislation.
Track
Monitor Legislation
We review proposed legislation and amendments, follow committee hearings and floor debate and identify policies that could strengthen or threaten protections for human life.
Advocate
Work with Policymakers
We draft pro-life legislation, communicate with State Senators and policymakers to provide information, share the pro-life perspective and advocate for policies that protect women, children and vulnerable Nebraskans.
Testify
Be a Voice for Life
Public hearings are an important part of Nebraska’s legislative process. Nebraska Right to Life provides testimony and helps bring informed pro-life voices before legislative committees.
Mobilize
Activate Our Grassroots Network
Legislators need to hear from the people they represent. Through legislative alerts, chapters and advocates across Nebraska, we help citizens know when their voices can make the greatest difference.
Your Voice Can Make a Difference
You don’t need to be a policy expert to make an impact. A phone call, email, testimony at a hearing or conversation with your State Senator can help shape the decisions made at the Nebraska State Capitol.

Take Your Advocacy to the Capitol
Some of the most important opportunities to protect life happen when Nebraskans show up.
Each year, Nebraska Right to Life brings advocates together at the State Capitol to learn about current legislation, hear directly from policymakers, connect with their State Senators and advocate for policies that protect life.
Pro-Life Legislative Day
Our annual pro-life legislative day is the oldest event of its kind in the state and gives Nebraskans an opportunity to see the legislative process firsthand. The pro-life community from across the state comes together to put grassroots advocacy into action.
When pro-life Nebraskans are informed, engaged and willing to act, we can continue building a culture in our state where every human life is protected and valued.
