Nebraska State Police have arrested six protesters who allegedly threw bloody tampons onto the chamber floor during debate over a hybrid anti-transgender healthcare and abortion ban bill. The protesters also shouted obscenities at the conservative lawmakers championing the measure and yelled “Shame!” from outside the chamber doors as voting took place, thereported.
The protests came before the passage of a dual bill that bans most abortions after 12 weeks and restricts gender-affirming treatments for people younger than 19.
