Today, the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ draconian six-week abortion ban to take effect. This bill also aims to terrorize those who provide abortions, allowing random individuals to sue providers, clinicians, and anyone else who assists a woman in accessing an abortion.
This assault on patient rights and health care providers reaches far beyond the borders of Texas. With the Supreme Court set to consider a full reversal of Roe v. Wade this fall, this cruel law acts as a blueprint for Republican legislatures across the country — including in New Hampshire— to intimidate physicians, ban abortions, and strip access to health care for women. Reproductive rights are now on the ballot — everywhere.
The New Hampshire GOP primary field can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights. The GOP primary field is full of anti-choice zealots who have refused to speak out against Gov. Sununu’s abortion ban and forced ultrasounds. During the last GOP primary, shadow lobbyist and swamp creature Matt Mowers even attacked a GOP primary opponent for supporting the right to an abortion in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy.
James Singer DCCC Spokesman
“New Hampshire Republicans have shown they can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights across the country and in the Granite State. If elected, these candidates will join extreme Republicans trying to ban abortion for millions of women.”
