Tonight on the local NBC news station, WOWT Omaha, there was a story about the bill I’ve been working on getting passed in Nebraska, LB1048. It was actually the headliner (the opening news story.)
You can view the video here.
While the woman who was interviewed had a heartbreaking story, her story is not typical of stillbirths. It’s unfortunate that her’s occured due to physical violence - most moms do everything they can to take care of their unborn child and they have an unknown cause.
I appreciate WOWT airing the story to gain awareness but some of the comments on their website that are coming in response to the story alarm me since the story didn’t provide all the facts. People are coming in with questions about abortions and identity theft and other “crap” because they don’t know the full details. I’ve posted my contact info and a response to try and do damage control. You can view the printed story with comments here.
I was mentioned at the end of the story and hope to do a follow up with the reporter when the bill gets out of commitee.
I’m glad we are getting some coverage though!
