New Hampshire enacts late-term abortion ban
New Hampshire pro-abortion Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed legislation Friday that included a limit on abortion at twenty-four weeks and later.
The budget bill, HB 2, “prohibits the distribution of state funds awarded by the department of health and human services to a reproductive health care facility for provision of abortion services, and prohibits a health care provider from performing an abortion if the gestational age of the fetus is at least twenty-four weeks unless there is a medical emergency.” It does not allow exceptions for rape, incest, or fetal anomaly.
HB 2 also requires ultrasounds before abortions and would punish abortionists who violate late-term abortion restrictions.
In addition, the bill implements a version of the Protect Life Rule, instituted by the Trump administration, that prohibited Title X family planning dollars from being given to corporations that commit abortions, such as Planned Parenthood. President Joe Biden withdrew the pro-life policy upon taking office.
