WASHINGTON, D.C.- On Wednesday, state Sen. Jen Day traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent Nebraska at the annual State Legislative Convening on Reproductive Rights. The event, which is hosted by the Federal Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, encourages state legislators from across the country to engage in conversations about policy, agenda, democracy, and reproductive rights.
"I'm excited to be here exchanging ideas and strategies with other lawmakers on how to protect reproductive rights," said Day, "One year after the Dobbs decision, we are at a critical point in history and we have to be steadfast in our commitment to protecting the rights of Nebraskans."
Day's visit to the conference comes just weeks after the passage of LB574, which banned gender-affirming care for minors in Nebraska and further restricted abortion. The Legislature's decision to pass LB574 drew substantial national attention, and prompted conversations both within and without the state regarding reproductive rights.
