Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"I am Pro-Life. The State Law has saved lives. As a representative of the Richmond and Swanzey Community, I understand that the majority of my constituents agree with the current law (ban after 24 weeks with exceptions for life of the mother). Medical advances allowing viable births should lead us to lowering that limit closer to 15 weeks in the future."
