NH House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn) issued the following statement following the Supreme Court of the United States decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case:
“Last year, we passed legislation that put limits on the most extreme and unnecessary late-term abortions. A majority of Granite Staters and Americans oppose the idea of allowing abortion up until the very moment of birth, and our laws now affirm that sentiment. This year, the House passed additional legislation that upheld our basic values regarding this issue on a unanimous bipartisan vote. While today’s ruling returning complete authority over abortion back to the states where it belongs is a great triumph for Federalism, it does nothing to change the accessibility of these services in New Hampshire.”
