This week 189 New Hampshire Democrat state representatives joined with 16 Republicans to gut the Fetal Life Protection Act with the goal of making abortion legal up until birth in New Hampshire.
They voted to pass HB224 which would remove all legal penalties for abortions performed after six months of pregnancy on healthy, viable babies. Cornerstone dubbed the 16 Republicans the “Bloodthirsty Sixteen.”
One of those Bloodthirsty Sixteen is Rep. Mike Bordes, representing Laconia, who is the prime sponsor of HB231, a bill to ban the declawing of cats.
The Laconia Daily Sun quoted Bordes about this bill:
HB231 Prohibiting the removal of claws from cats came out of committee 9-9 with no recommendation. I urge all common-sense animal lovers who don’t want animals barbarically mutilated to email and tell your State Rep to vote yes on OTP (ought to pass). It’s time we stand up for our pets!!
In the same article:
The bill says a person could be subjected to escalating fines for removing a cat’s claws without a reason that the procedure is medically necessary. Penalties range from $500 for a first offense, to $1,000 for a second offense to $2,500 for subsequent offenses
Rep. Bordes knows the importance of having a penalty for this procedure or he wouldn’t have included a penalty in the bill. He understands that without a penalty declawing would continue and the law would be useless. And yet he wants to strip all penalties from the Fetal Life Protection Act.
Rep. Bordes decries the barbaric mutilation of cats and yet he wants to enable the barbaric mutilation of babies in the last three months of pregnancy with zero risk for the doctor performing it, not even a nominal $500 fine.
Many other reps agreed, voting to pass his declawing ban 225-147 and a week later these same reps voted 205-178 to gut the law protecting babies from being brutally killed in the last three months of pregnancy.
We have a lot of NH state reps that have twisted morals. We know the NH Democrats have serious problems and now we know we have at least 16 Republicans who are in the same disturbed state of mind, as well as Gov. Chris Sununu who is eager to sign this bill if the NH Senate passes it.

I commented on Rep. Bordes’ Facebook page under his most recent post about his declawing bill.
Rep. Bordes, I’m quite shocked that you voted to remove the penalties for painful, dangerous late-term abortions on healthy viable babies when you are so concerned about painful procedures for cats. How do you square that? Late-term abortions cannot be used to save the life of the mother and are much more dangerous than giving birth so the only purpose is to ensure a dead baby.

If you are Rep. Bordes’ constituent in Laconia please challenge him to explain this to you. Ask him to justify his concern for the humane care of cats vs. his total lack of concern for the humane care of babies just weeks from being born. His email address is mikebordes@bordesfornh.com or you can comment on or message him on his Facebook page.
Ask Bordes about his role as Vice Chair for Brigid’s House of Hope, a safe home for survivors of human trafficking, and what he thinks of the role abortion plays in keeping sexually trafficked women available for being prostituted.
Please contact your state senator now and ask him or her to stand against HB 224 to protect vulnerable moms and babies.
