Hayes Center, Nebraska

Hayes Center is a village in Hayes County, Nebraska, United States, which has served as that county's county seat since 1885. As of the 2020 census, Hayes Center had a population of 224.

Hayes Center was founded in 1885. It was named from its position near the geographical center of Hayes County.

On April 6, 2021, Hayes Center became the first city in Nebraska to outlaw abortion by local ordinance, declaring itself a "sanctuary city for the unborn." The ordinance declares abortion to be "a murderous act of violence that purposefully and knowingly terminates a human life," and it outlaws abortion "at all times and at all stages of pregnancy." The only exception is for abortions performed "in response to a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy" that "places the woman in danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is performed." The Hayes Center ordinance also declares abortion-inducing drugs to be contraband.

The city of Blue Hill, Nebraska followed suit and enacted a similar ordinance outlawing abortion on April 13, 2021.

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, (R) has praised Hayes Center for its actions to outlaw abortion, issuing a statement that: "Nebraska is a pro-life state, and communities are working to recognize and protect innocent life in a variety of ways. The Biden-Harris Administration is pushing a radical, pro-abortion agenda, and Nebraska must do everything we can to stand against the abortion lobby.”
