This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment in New Hampshire that establishes the right to abortion prior to 24 weeks. It states that every individual has a fundamental right to abortion and that the state cannot prohibit, restrict, delay, or penalize this right before 24 weeks, unless there is a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means. After 24 weeks, the state may not prohibit an abortion that is deemed necessary by a attending physician. If approved by 2/3 of the voters, this amendment would become effective when the governor proclaims its adoption. Currently, abortion is not explicitly protected in the New Hampshire constitution, but if this amendment is adopted, the right to abortion before 24 weeks of pregnancy will be explicitly protected.
