Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund's Statement on NH Supreme Court Nominee
For Immediate Release: Nov. 8, 2023
CONCORD – Following today’s announcement from Governor Sununu regarding his nominee of Melissa Countway for New Hampshire Supreme Court, Kayla Montgomery, Vice President of Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund released the following statement:
“The legal landscape for reproductive rights and freedoms in our country is in chaos. With no federal constitutional protections for abortion access, and New Hampshire only one of three states where abortion is legal but not protected by law, it is imperative that all judicial nominees be firmly and sincerely committed to protecting our freedom to access the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion. With all protections for reproductive rights now falling to individual states, it is critical for the public to have a full picture of where nominees for the New Hampshire’s Supreme Court stand. We look forward to a clear and comprehensive discussion of the nominee's position on abortion rights.”
