In Nebraska, Issues of Immigration and Abortion Collide

Los Angeles Times reported: So two viewpoints collided with this question: Should Nebraska pay for prenatal care for the unborn children of illegal immigrants? For many, the answer is an unqualified yes. "We don't accept that borders should be put ahead of babies," said Julie Schmit-Albin, executive director of Nebraska Right to Life. But others say that people in the country illegally should not reap state benefits. A bill that would have made prenatal care available for illegal immigrants was withdrawn last week in the Legislature.
