"I have been doing advocacy in this state on reproductive rights for just about a decade now and every year we have seen attempts to roll back the ability to access abortion in this state, and I don't think that's likely to change in the coming years," Devon Chaffee, executive director of the ACLU of New Hampshire, said in an online news conference Friday afternoon. Still, abortion-rights advocates said they expect further attempts to limit the procedure in the Granite State, where the Legislature has been unwilling to codify reproductive rights in state law. "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." "Last year, we passed legislation that put limits on the most extreme and unnecessary late-term abortions," he said. House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, R-Auburn, defended the ban and downplayed the significance in New Hampshire of the high court ruling. This year, he signed a measure to put an exception in the ban for women carrying fetuses with fatal anomalies. In New Hampshire, Sununu signed a bill last year that banned abortions after the 24-week mark. In the absence of constitutional protections for abortion rights, decisions on regulation of the procedure will be up to the states. "This is the most blatant and offensive revocation of a constitutionally protected right in modern history." Supreme Court issued perhaps its most extreme and politically motivated decision ever, revoking a woman's constitutional right to legal abortion," Soucy said. Senate Democratic Leader Donna Soucy, D-Manchester, and four other female Senate Democrats released statements critical of the Supreme Court ruling. She said New Hampshire residents need to take action at the ballot box to back candidates who support a woman's right to an abortion. Overturning Roe has always been their goal." Republicans have been chipping away at abortion access for years. "As a currently pregnant person, mother and legislator, and someone who has needed abortion care in my own life, I am deeply disturbed by and angry about this news," said Toll, who is running for re-election. Amanda Elizabeth Toll, D-Keene, expressed outrage over the high court's decision.
