The NH House is meeting on Wednesday, March 22, and Thursday, March 23 this week to vote on many important bills and two of them are critically important for babies, HB271 which would repeal the Fetal Life Protection Act which protects viable babies from being killed in abortion after 24 weeks gestation, and HB224 which would repeal all legal penalties for doctors performing abortions after 24 weeks.
From Cornerstone’s latest Legislative Update:
HB 224 is a bill that would repeal all criminal and civil legal penalties against health care providers for violating the Fetal Life Protection Act. If this bill were to pass, it would strip the law of any enforcement capability, and allow all abortions up to birth.
HB 224 stands as a significant threat to pre-born life, as our governor, Chris Sununu, has called to remove the penalties for violating the Fetal Life Protection Act. A pro-choice individual, he is the only Republican governor in America pushing for abortion up to birth, and has pledged to sign the bill if it reaches his desk. Additionally, Chris Sununu personally lobbied for a functionally identical bill in the House just last year.
Governor Sununu wants to pretend he wants to protect babies after 24 weeks while allowing them to be killed in abortions up until the moment of birth. Despicable! Signing HB224 would also put him in violation of his campaign promise to support a late-term abortion ban.
