Abortion Rights Bills

Tell your NH rep: support abortion rights this year

The New Hampshire House of Representatives is currently discussing a number of bills related to abortion rights – including one that would ban all abortion in the Granite State at just 15 days.

The House will soon vote on HB 1248, the 15-day ban, and HB 1541, a bill that would insert the government into abortion care and take decisions and trust away from doctors providing that care.

However, they'll also be voting on a bill, CACR 23, that would put abortion rights into the hands of voters and possibly establish the right to an abortion into the state constitution. These proposed constitutional amendments, which differ slightly from one another, would both ensure the fundamental right to abortion in the Granite State.

The vast majority of Granite Staters support safe, legal abortion. Now is the time for our lawmakers to listen and to draw a line in the sand and make clear that we should be able to seek abortion care without shame, stigma, or unnecessary obstacles.

There’s no time to wait: tell your state rep to OPPOSE HB 1248 and HB 1541, and to SUPPORT CACR 23.

Subject

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose HB 1248 and HB 1541, two bills that aim to dismantle abortion rights in New Hampshire. I also urge you to support CACR 23, which would put a proposed constitutional amendment to the voters to protect abortion rights in our state constitution.

Message Body

I am one of the nearly 75% of Granite Staters that believe abortion should be legal. I ask that you vote to protect abortion rights every time you vote this legislative session. Abortion rights are a key value to the vast majority of New Hampshire citizens who believe everyone should have reasonable access to legal reproductive care regardless of where they live or who they are.

I also urge you to support the constitutional amendments proposed this year, because protecting the right to an abortion in the state constitution means trusting Granite Staters and their doctors, not politicians, to make the health decisions that are best for them. Every situation is different, and we all deserve to be trusted to make decisions that are best for us.

Similarly, I ask you to strongly oppose bills like HB 1248 and HB 1541, which would outlaw abortion or restrict it. Not only does this go against the values of the majority of New Hampshire residents and voters like me, but it is wrong. These bills have no place in our state and they show a lack of medical understanding and disregard for privacy and freedom in our healthcare.

I ask that you please draw a line in the sand and make clear that Granite Staters should be able to seek and access abortion care without shame, stigma, or obstacles.

Thank you, and please stand up for abortion rights this legislative session by opposing HB 1248 and HB 1541 and supporting CACR 23.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES
