New Hampshire 24-Week Abortion Ban To Take Effect This Week

Elective abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy will no longer be legal in New Hampshire as of the end of this week.

The state's Republican governor signed a budget in June 2021 that prohibits most abortions that take place after 24 weeks of pregnancy; the exception is in cases to protect the life of the mother or her physical health, according to WMUR.
