Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts signed a budget Wednesday that will eliminate federal family-planning funding to Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The $8.8 billion two-year budget would prohibit money to facilities that commit, promote, or refer clients for abortions.

The budget also mandates health clinics in the state to legally, financially, and physically separate from abortion facilities.

Ricketts, who is pro-life, approved the package after it was passed by the state legislature on a 38-6 vote. The Nebraska governor proposed the measure in his budget earlier this year.

Wow! That's my kind of state! Good for Nebraska. Why is my state (California) so damned evil? It used to be like Nebraska.

One can say these judges are killing this country literally and figuratively.

The unborn inherently have God given rights. Life begins at conception. The Founders could never envision murder of babies by mothers. The Constitution should be amended to reflect these rights. The left would literally go to war to defend abortion. Let that sink in.
