Nebraska is pro-life; my budget is pro-life

As I have noted before, Nebraska is a pro-life state. My budget contains the pro-life budget language approved by the body last year. I look forward to working with all of you this session as we represent pro-life Nebraska and look for new ways to support expecting mothers and our unborn children.
