What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

Paula Tracy photo By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.orgCONCORD - A bill that would affirmatively protect in law the right to an abortion before 24 weeks of pregnancy was heard Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.If signed into law, it would proactively protect the future of abortion rights in the Granite State and comes following the U.S. Supreme Court decision last year which struck down Roe v. Wade and ceded abortion decisions to the states.It would not change any current law passed in June 2021 and signed by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu which included the first modern-day restrictions of the procedure in the state.Opponents of the bill include the chair of the committee state Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, who said there is no need for the bill, claiming that the rights already exists.But proponents said that women in the state need more assurances since the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision and those rights are not included in the state's recently passed Fetal Protection Act.Of the 26 who signed in to take a position on Senate Bill 181, all but six individuals were in support of the measure.There are two identical bills on this subject.A copy of the Senate version of the Access to Abortion-care Act, is here: https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=776&inflect=2.The other House Bill 88 https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=35&inflect=2, is scheduled for a public hearing on Feb.
