At least six people were arrested at the Nebraska state capitol building
Friday after protests broke out as lawmakers passed a bill that bans
abortions after 12 weeks and restricts gender transition procedures for
those under 19.
Debate was stopped briefly around 2:40 p.m. while arrests took place in a
chamber balcony where those opposing the controversial bill yelled and
threw what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the legislative floor. The
balconies were cleared for the remainder of the debate.
Lucia Salinas, 24, and Maghie Miller-Jenkins, 36, were arrested for
allegedly obstructing a government operation and disturbing the peace, the
Nebraska State Patrol said in a release sent to Fox News Digital.
Mar Lee, 25, was arrested for allegedly disturbing the peace and
trespassing after he refused to leave the balcony for repeatedly yelling.
Danna Seevers, 56, who was on the opposite balcony for people who
supported the bill, was also arrested for allegedly disobeying a lawful
order when she also refused to leave, the state patrol said.
About an hour later, as troopers were attempting to take a man who was
allegedly trying to prevent a Sgt. at Arms from opening a door at the back
of the legislative chamber into custody, a woman punched a trooper in the
chest when he prevented her from pushing past him.
Benjamin Buras, 40, and Sara Crawford, 33, were both arrested in that
incident.
Buras was arrested for resisting arrest and trespassing after officers
said he didn't comply with orders to leave. Crawford was arrested for
allegedly obstructing a peace officer.
All six were booked into the Lancaster County Jail.
Republican Gov. Jim Pillen said he plans to sign the controversial bill
that passed after Republicans got enough votes to end a filibuster.
TRUMP SAYS HE WOULD REACH ABORTION ‘DEAL’ THAT THE ‘WHOLE COUNTRY CAN
AGREE WITH'
Protesters have been demonstrating at the capitol in Lincoln, Nebraska
this week since lawmakers advanced the bill on Tuesday.
More videos on social media appeared to show police clashing with other
protesters outside the chamber whose chants of "Shame, shame!" could be
heard by voting lawmakers.
The 12-week abortion ban has exceptions for rape and incest and the bill
wouldn’t allow transgender people under 19 years old to undergo gender
surgery but with few exceptions.
Nebraska currently bans abortion around 20 weeks and is one of multiple
states that has recently passed abortion and transgender laws.
Last month, a proposed six-week ban failed to advance.

These people really have no idea what they’re protesting. So thankful my
parents and grandparents raised me to be a conservative. And it been
passed on to my sons and grandchildren. All it really takes is common
sense and conversation.

Wish my family had common sense. I was raised in a liberal family and was
registered as a Democrat all through college. Thanks to God and the right
people who came into my life I was finally able to see. I’m now 46 and I’m
proud to raise my children in a Jesus following, conservative thinking
household.
