There were 14 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “Should N.H. further restrict abortions or pass a law that codifies a right to the procedure?”
In regards to abortion rights, a woman, the father to be and their doctor should be the only one to decide about an abortion. No one else. If we’re gonna infringe on their rights in New Hampshire, we’ve got to get rid of the motto Live for or Die. D. Damon, Center Conway

If a state can restrict abortion now, what else will they try to restrict? Thomas has already said that contraceptives, same sex marriage, and bedroom privacy shoukd be revisited. Notice he didn’t say any thing about mixed marriages….wonder why? Some states are already trying to restrict who can vote! What’s next?
