Nebraska lawmakers advanced a bill<\/a> last week that would allow a tax credit for people who donate to pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) in the state.<\/p>\n

Legislative Bill 937<\/a>, introduced by State Sen. Eliot Bostar, is a package that includes tax breaks for a number of different scenarios, but one in particular would allocate up to $2 million for tax credits to PRC donors. The bill is backed<\/a> by the Nebraska Family Alliance, Nebraska Right to Life, and the Nebraska Catholic Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat these centers are all about is helping women,\u201d said<\/a> Sen. Joni Albrecht, who sponsored the portion of the bill relating to the pregnancy resource centers. \u201cThey are helping the state of Nebraska.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pregnancy resource centers are known for providing countless resources for pregnant women and young families, including baby food, supplies, furniture, clothing, counseling, support. Some are even staffed by doctors or nurses who are able to offer medical care. A report released<\/a> in 2022 showed that these centers provided over $350 million in services nationwide. Despite the fact that they offer nothing but help and support to those in need, these centers are vilified by the abortion industry because they help women keep<\/em> their preborn babies rather than encouraging them to kill them \u2014 and women keeping their babies is bad for the abortion industry’s business.<\/p>\n
