Nebraska prison inmate sues for right to get abortion By GRANT SCHULTEApril 9, 2021 GMT OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska prison inmate sued the state corrections department Friday, saying she was denied her constitutional right to get an abortion. The woman, identified as Jane Roe, asked a federal judge for an emergency order so she can get state-mandated counseling and an abortion at a Planned Parenthood in Lincoln by her scheduled appointment on Tuesday. She’s a little more than 15 weeks pregnant and has been in prison since Feb. 18, serving a 26-month sentence at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women in York, according to the lawsuit.
