Republicans currently hold a trifecta in New Hampshire, with GOP majorities in the House and Senate and a Republican occupying the governor’s mansion. But control of the House — the largest in the country with 400 members — sits on a knife’s edge. There are 198 Republicans and 195 Democrats, three independents, and four vacant seats.

Republicans “claim that they don’t want to ban abortion anymore, and that they don’t want to change the 24 week ban. And here we are, with a bill from sponsors in both chambers, trying to move the ban to 15 days,” says Alexis Simpson, deputy minority leader of the New Hampshire House. Simpson pointed to other proposals floated by GOP members to restrict abortion, including a Texas-style abortion bounty law in 2021, and 15-week ban that is expected to be introduced in the upcoming session.

    That’s the point.

    They want to straight up ban abortions, they know full well this is an impossible time frame.

        Be like Quebec, enforce secularism in government and remove religion and spirituality from the equation of law making.

        Secularism is both freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Feel free to not abort your fetus if it’s against your religion, but don’t impose it on others.
