New Hampshire House Withdraws Bill to Protect Preborn Children from Abortion Following Governor’s Veto Threat
A proposed bill in New Hampshire that aimed to protect preborn children from abortion at 15 weeks instead of the current 24 weeks was withdrawn by the House after Governor Kelly Ayotte threatened to veto any pro-life legislation. The bill included exceptions for medical emergencies and fetal diagnoses but ultimately failed to receive enough support to move forward.
Ayotte, who had previously supported pro-life measures, surprised many with her decision to uphold the current law allowing for late-term abortions. Despite her past voting record and support for pro-life initiatives, Ayotte stated that she would not support any further restrictions on abortion beyond the existing law.
With the recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization giving states the authority to protect preborn children from abortion, there is an opportunity for New Hampshire to enact laws that prioritize life. Advocates argue that human rights should not be regulated based on age, size, location, or health status, and that all politicians who oppose abortion should work to protect the lives of the most vulnerable in society.
