Should New Hampshire ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation, with exceptions for cases of rape/incest and health complications?
"Think about this for a moment 20 weeks equals 5 Months! That is very late in making that decidion. I am for personal responsibility for both Mom and Dad equally. We need to start with Education, if individuals prepared for this outcome there would be no need for abortions. I am 100% against taxpayer funded abortions. Through any business, PP does not invest in education if they did there would be no need fot their existence... Make no mistake it is a business, making money removing our next generation."
