At NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire we believe it is important to promote policies that help prevent unintended pregnancies thereby reducing the need for abortion, such as accessible contraception and comprehensive sex education. However, we also believe it is essential to protect access to the full range of reproductive healthcare, including the right to safe, legal abortion. 

While the Supreme Court guaranteed American women the right to choose safe, legal abortion with their Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, they also recognized the state's ability to restrict abortion access and a woman's right to choose. 

Since then, anti-choice forces have chipped away at choice in their efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade altogether. These are some of the tactics the anti-choice movement has used to do so:

Currently, the New Hampshire legislature is "mixed choice" - we get a 'B-' from NARAL Pro-Choice America's Who Decides?. While our state has two anti-choice laws on the books that restrict low-income and young women's access to abortion, we also have laws that improve access to birth control and emergency contraception.
