A Nebraska law that combined abortion restrictions with another measure to limit gender-affirming health care for minors does not violate a state constitutional amendment requiring bills to stick to a single subject, a majority of the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday.
The state’s high court acknowledged in its ruling that abortion and gender-affirming care “are distinct types of medical care,” but found the law does not violate Nebraska’s single-subject rule because both abortion and transgender health fall under the subject of medical care.
The majority relied, in part, on a passage from an 1895 ruling to find the state constitution offers wide latitude on what composes a single subject.
Gender-affirming healthcare includes emotional support and just treating someone as their self identified gender, not just physical treatments. In this case it is supposedly only about a law that limited the physical part, but the case wasn’t about the details of the ban but the fact that the ban was combined with the abortion restrictions.
The court decided that although they were two things, both fall under healthcare so apparently that makes them the same thing.
I seriously doubt these restrictions are about emotional support
