New Hampshire House Committee Stands By Abortion Clinic Buffer Zone Law Already Found Unconstitutional
The Judiciary Committee of the New Hampshire House of Representatives has recommended against repealing a state law prohibiting protesting within 25 feet of an abortion clinic – even though the U.S. Supreme Court has already found a similar law in Massachusetts unconstitutional.
The New Hampshire legislative committee voted 14-4 on Tuesday, January 15 against recommending the bill, which will now go to the House floor, according to The Union Leader.
