Comments from two state senators from Omaha have pretty much diminished hopes for a “normal” session of the Nebraska Legislature this year.
“I think it will be a difficult session again. I’m not backing down,” said Sen. Kathleen Kauth as she gave priority designation to the Sports and Spaces Act that would bar biological males from participating in K-12 sports designed for females and would block trans students from using a bathroom designated for other than their gender at birth.
“I will do whatever I have to do to protect the children of Nebraska,” Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh said as she introduced a bill to repeal the controversial law sponsored by Kauth last session that blocks minors from obtaining certain gender-affirming care and restricts access to an abortion after 12 weeks gestation.
