Bill Would Regulate Abortions for Minors
State lawmakers approved a bill requiring notification of a parent or judge before a girl under age 18 could get an abortion, Gov. Craig Benson said he will sign the measure, which would give the state its only law regulating abortion.
Planned Parenthood of New England said the vote ended decades “of libertarian heritage that respected reproductive freedom and medical privacy.”
Citizens for Life, the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee, called the bill “a vital element in abortion reform.”
