6 arrested after protesters hurl tampons at Nebraska lawmakers before passage of abortion ban

At least six protesters were arrested at the Nebraska Capitol Friday as state lawmakers approved a 12-week abortion ban and restrictions on gender-affirming care for those under the age of 19.
Debate over the controversial bill has been so intense that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said that they may no longer be able to work together in the future.
A single bill including both measures was finally passed after conservative legislators called in a visibly sick colleague so they would have enough votes to end a filibuster and get the bill through.
Friday’s heated debate was briefly halted when protesters in a chamber balcony hurled obscenities at conservative lawmakers and threw what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the floor.
Nebraska State Police arrested at least six of the demonstrators.
Later, as lawmakers began voting, hundreds of protesters who’d packed in the Capitol rotunda chanted “Shame!” right outside of the chamber doors.
