New Hampshire House Rejects Key Abortion Bills

In a closely divided vote, the New Hampshire House refused to pass measures that would either restrict or expand abortion rights, maintaining the status quo.

• The New Hampshire House voted against three abortion bills, leaving the state's abortion laws unchanged.
• One rejected bill sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution up to 24 weeks, but failed to secure the necessary majority.
• Another bill proposed requiring two doctors for abortions after 15 weeks, which was also rejected.
• A third measure, which would have banned abortion after 15 days of gestation, was indefinitely postponed, effectively blocking its revival.
• The debate reflects the ongoing national conversation about abortion rights following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.
