Haven’t seen a lot of coverage of this story. But it might be something to keep an eye on. New Hampshire really likes being first it seems.
U.S. state New Hampshire repeals parental notice abortion law
CONCORD, New Hampshire: New Hampshire on Friday became the first U.S. state to repeal a law requiring parental notification for teenagers to get abortions.
The repeal took effect immediately after New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed the bill.
“I strongly believe parents should be involved in these decisions, providing important support and guidance,” said Lynch. “Unfortunately that is not possible in every case. The Supreme Court found this law unconstitutional because it fails to protect the health and safety of all women, which is why I am signing its repeal.”
New Hampshire is the first state to repeal a parental notice law, according to Dawn Touzin of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, whose lawsuit had tied up the law in court.
