The New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee voted<\/a> on Tuesday to recommend that the Senate reject two bills: HB224, which would repeal the penalties for those who break a state law protecting preborn children from abortion after six months, and HB88, which would introduce a right to abortion in the state.<\/p>\n

“The Senate Judiciary Committee today responded to the overwhelming weight of testimony in support of protecting mothers and preborn babies with the Fetal Life Protection Act by rejecting HB224 and HB88. Rather than offering real help to mothers in need, these bills offered only death,” said Jason Hennessey, president of NH Right to Life, in a statement.<\/p>\n

On a party-line vote, the committee recommended that the full Senate reject the legislation, with those in opposition to the bills stating that such bills are unnecessary because abortion remains legal in New Hampshire for up to 24 weeks and after 24 weeks<\/a> when the mother’s health or life is said to be at risk (though directly and intentionally killing a preborn child is not medically necessary<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“We’ve… had this legislation already this year, and we said no to it,” Republican Majority Leader Sharon Carson said. “So, this is just another version of the same bill.”<\/p>\n

Upon this recommendation, the NH Senate on Thursday then voted 14-10 against moving the bills forward, with all senators voting along party lines. Jason Hennessey said in response<\/a>, \u201cBy rejecting HB224 today, the Senate upheld our humanity by protecting mothers and their ready-to-be-born children from dangerous late term abortions. Overwhelmingly, NH citizens agree that a healthy baby at 8 months deserves a chance at life, even if mom needs to leave them at the hospital under the Safe Haven law.\u201d<\/p>\n

HB 224<\/a> would have repealed the criminal and civil penalties for abortionists who violate the Fetal Life Protection Act (FLPA), which protects babies after 24 weeks. It specifically sought to repeal RSA 329:46, which makes such an abortion a class B felony.<\/p>\n

Hennessey explained, “HB224 tried to trick the legislature into legalizing risky late-term abortions for any reason by claiming that the FLPA’s penalties would worsen NH’s ‘maternity deserts’ where mothers cannot obtain healthcare. Once you dig a little, this doesn’t make sense. The facts are: 1) NH is one of the few states with no current maternity deserts<\/a>, 2) only a very small percentage<\/a> of obstetricians do any elective abortions, and 3) almost all states<\/a> ban the abortion of viable children. On top of that, elective abortion through birth is not only extreme to a super-majority<\/a> of Granite Staters, but is only allowed in 7 countries in the world, including N[orth] Korea and China.”<\/p>\n

He noted that the FLPA prevents the killing of preborn children who could be immediately delivered instead of aborted and then left at the hospital under the state’s Safe Haven Law.<\/p>\n

New Hampshire’s proposed HB88<\/a>, also called the New Hampshire Access to Abortion Care Act, said the state will not “restrict or interfere with an individual’s exercise of their private decision to terminate a pregnancy except as provided in RSA<\/a> 329:43 through RSA 329:50 [the FLPA] and RSA 132: 32 through RSA 132:36 [the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act].” The act claims abortion “is vital to the equality and liberty of all individuals.”<\/p>\n

Hennessey explained before the Senate’s rejection, “HB88 would codify injustice into our laws by saying that some people do not deserve the rights that others have. The bill is also legally questionable, in that it attempts to bind future legislatures without being part of the constitution.” He added that some people believe the wording of HB88 could allow any person to end any woman’s pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Despite the Senate’s rejection of the bills, pro-lifers in the state still believe the FLPA is at risk.<\/p>\n
