LB 767 would prohibit “dismemberment abortion” procedures in the state of Nebraska, except in an emergency situation.
The bill defines “dismemberment abortion” as to purposely dismember “a living ‘unborn child’ and extract him or her one piece at a time from the uterus through use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors, or similar instruments that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slice, crush, or grasp a portion of the ‘unborn child’s’ body to cut or rip it off.”
