However, the bill was tabled following a 192-192 tie. Though it appeared to be a pro-life win, New Hampshire Right to Life explained that legislators approved HB 224, a bill that would remove the civil and criminal\u00a0penalties included in the FLPA, which would essentially &#8220;legalize abortion through birth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;HB224 removes the penalties from the FLPA, making the law unenforceable,&#8221; the group said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/walgreens-cvs-petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283198\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Walgreens CVS banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the House approved the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gencourt.state.nh.us\/bill_status\/billinfo.aspx?id=35&amp;inflect=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access to Abortion Care Act<\/a>, which would add a right to abortion up to 24 weeks to state law, though the state Senate already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gencourt.state.nh.us\/bill_status\/billinfo.aspx?id=776&amp;inflect=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected<\/a> a similar bill.
