Students for Life Action condemns Sen. Merv Riepe’s failure to vote to overcome the filibuster of LB 626, the Nebraska Heartbeat Act. We’re activating students and supporters of the preborn across Nebraska to call on him to resign after this betrayal. We need your help!
Please sign your petition below calling on Senator Riepe to resign, to add to the tidal wave hitting the legislature when session begins.
WHEREAS: In a life and death situation, on the battlefield or in the ER, the one thing medical professionals check for to decide who to treat is a heartbeat. Yet, with such a strong sign of life, pre-born babies in Nebraska still face death, and
WHEREAS: Senator Merv Riepe has betrayed his constituents, the Governor, and his colleagues in the legislature by going back on his word to advance the Heartbeat bill and protect innocent preborn life; and
WHEREAS: Senator Riepe campaigned as a pro-life candidate, supportive of legislation to protect the preborn and end abortion, including in signed candidate surveys used to mobilize pro-life voters to vote for him; and
THEREFORE: We urge him to change course and vote to advance the Heartbeat bill, or the right thing and resign, allowing the Governor to appoint a Senator who will protect life and work to end abortion by casting every vote in favor of the Heartbeat Bill to protect life in Nebraska.
