LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Supporters and opponents of abortion rights are clashing over a bill that would impose tougher regulations on Nebraska’s three abortion centers.

A legislative committee heard testimony Wednesday on a measure that would reclassify facilities that perform five or more abortions a month as ambulatory surgical centers.

Advocates say the measure by Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha is a women’s health initiative, but opponents say it’s a veiled attempt to limit access to abortions. McCoy is an outspoken abortion opponent.

Senators also heard testimony on a bill by Papillion Sen. Bill Kintner that would require abortion clinics to post signs reiterating the importance of informed consent.

Neither bill has a priority designation, limiting the chances that either will pass this year.
