New Hampshire pro-choicers kill born alive protection and D&E ban

The New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee has voted down a pair of pro-life bills, one which would require abortionists to attempt to resuscitate any newborn that showed signs of life after abortions, and another to prohibit the dilation and evacuation procedure.

D&E abortions, commonly used in the second trimester of pregnancy, are also known as dismemberment abortions because they entail pulling the preborn baby apart limb by limb in the womb. Bill proponents called the method horrific.

Republican State Rep. Kurt Wuelper also said that the born-alive bill was necessary because “There should be a reasonable way to have some amount of protection for those who survive the sentence of abortion.”

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

However, abortion supporters condemned both bills as unjustified intrusions into the professional judgment of physicians — “legislating medical procedures,” in Republican State Rep. Charlene Takesian’s words.

The born-alive bill was voted down 9-7, and the dismemberment bill was voted down 9-8.
