Adam Edelman is a political reporter for NBC News.

A proposed amendment to enshrine access to abortion care in Nebraska’s constitution moved closer to appearing on the ballot in November after a coalition of reproductive rights advocates on Wednesday submitted the required number of valid signatures to state officials.

We believed and knew that people across the state felt the same.' Currently, abortion is illegal in Nebraska after the 12th week of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest and saving the mother’s life. If voters passed the proposed amendment, it would effectively undo that law. Nebraska is one of 11 states where organizers are seeking to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions via citizen-led ballot initiatives.
