Today, Senate President Morse voted against legislation to codify abortion rights, his latest attack on women’s freedom in his long, anti-choice record. Morse was “the key architect” of New Hampshire’s abortion ban which has no exceptions for rape or incest, voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and supports the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. In response to Morse’s latest efforts to criminalize abortion, Senator Maggie Hassan released the following statement:
“Today, Chuck Morse once again voted to eviscerate a woman’s right to control her own destiny and demonstrated his determination to criminalize abortion. With Chuck Morse and his fellow Republican primary candidates pushing an extreme, anti-choice agenda, women’s most fundamental freedoms are on the ballot this November.”
