Nebraska is the best place in the world to live, work, and raise a family. One of the things that sets apart Nebraska as the Good Life is the state’s generations-long commitment to pro-life values. Our pro-life values evidence themselves in many ways. Hundreds of Nebraskans volunteer at crisis pregnancy centers every year, helping provide crucial support for expecting mothers. As you drive Nebraska’s highways and byways, it is common to see “Choose Life” or “Abortion stops a beating heart” signs along the road. Every year, thousands of Nebraskans turn out for the Walk for Life and Life Chain events across the state.
