Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"If a mother's health is ever put in jeopardy by a pregnancy, then the decision to carry the pregnancy to term or to end it at any point, is a solely that of the mother. Terminating a pregnancy that puts the mothers health in danger should never be banned. I support a ban on abortions, for non-health related reasons, after 15 weeks."
