“This November, the Democrats will see if their all-in gamble on unrestricted abortion through all nine months is the winner they hope it is, as states like Nebraska face pro-abortion ballot initiatives that will put the lives of mothers and babies at great risk,” said Students for Life Action Vice President of Political Affairs Chanel Jacobs. “The only vision offered to voters by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz embraces abortion radicalism far worse than Roe, guaranteeing late-term abortion until the moment of birth. The more voters learn about this barbarism, the more they reject it – and that’s why we’re heading to Nebraska this week to fight for hope and a future for all Americans – including those yet to be born.”
KEARNEY, N.E. (09-19-2024) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) is deploying to critical swing states around the country educating voters on races up and down the ballot, as Democrats run under the banner of the most pro-abortion Presidential ticket in modern history.
This weekend in Kearney, Nebraska, SFLAction volunteers and staff will door-knock and engage voters in state senate districts 37 and 41, distributing literature about the candidates, and Nebraska’s Initiative 439, which would legalize abortion until birth in the Nebraska State Constitution.
The door knocking event begins at 2:00 p.m. local time. To get connected with the volunteers and staff on the ground, please email [email protected].
SFLAction Vice President of Political Affairs Chanel Jacobs said, “Nebraska voters need the facts about the pro-abortion ballot they’re facing this November. If successfully pushed forward, the existing pro-life protections in Nebraska would be undone, resulting in abortion without any limits through all nine months. Democrats want this extremism in every state. However, we’re going to educate Nebraska voters about this barbaric law as well as on the candidates who will be called to fight for life in law and service in the state legislature. With millions of lives on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher; the Pro-Life Generation is mobilized and ready to fight for Life and defend pro-life leaders!”
SFLAction engaged and educated Nebraska lawmakers and voters on numerous pro-life legislative initiatives and programs in the last year, including:
- Educating voters about pro-life candidates Lana Peister of District 37 and Ethan Clark of District 41, who won their preliminary contests and face general election fights this fall. Leading up to the election, SFLAction sent over 11,500 text messages, made over 11,300 phone calls, sent over 11,300 pieces of direct mail, and knocked on 626 doors.

- Documenting the successful impact of SFLAction’s decline to sign efforts in Nebraska, where over 300 signature withdrawal requests were filed with the Secretary of State’s Office. This came on the heels of the launch of a website for those who mistakenly signed up for the pro-abortion lobby through org.

- Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee at the Nebraska State House, calling on committee members to vote against LB1109, introduced by Republican Sen. Merv Riepe (one of “Biden’s Favorite Republicans”). If it had passed, the law would’ve allowed abortions beyond the state’s 12-week limits in cases of fatal fetal anomalies and remove criminal penalties for doctors who perform an abortion outside of “the exceptions for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother.”
