A Nebraska law that combined abortion restrictions with another measure to limit gender-affirming health care for minors does not violate a state constitutional amendment requiring bills to stick to a single subject, a majority of the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The state’s high court acknowledged in its ruling that abortion and gender-affirming care “are distinct types of medical care,” but found the law does not violate Nebraska’s single-subject rule because both abortion and transgender health fall under the subject of medical care.

The majority relied, in part, on a passage from an 1895 ruling to find the state constitution offers wide latitude on what composes a single subject.

    My instinct always told me that body is a complex machinery and it comes with two unwritten instructions: Do not screw with it, and maintain properly

    So I assume you will never get a stent or a pacemaker or a joint replacement or a pin in a broken bone or even a blood transfusion.

    Come to think of it, even glasses is screwing with your body’s normal standard of vision.

    Do you wear clothes? Why are you screwing with your body’s temperature regulation abilities?
