Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill on Friday that prohibits both abortions beyond the 12-week mark of pregnancy while also imposing limitations on “gender-altering procedures” for minors.

The legislation, which is believed to be the first of its kind to combine restrictions on both abortion and “gender-affirming care,” was approved with a vote of 33–15 and now awaits the signature of Gov. Jim Pillen, a Republican.
