A Massachusetts abortion rights group sets its eyes on New Hampshire

Published September 26.


A group that’s long advocated for access to abortion and reproductive health care in Massachusetts is expanding into New Hampshire and Connecticut.

Christina Warriner, state director of the New Hampshire chapter of Reproductive Equity Now, said the group will invest in engaging and educating voters about what it sees as threats to reproductive health care in the state. That focus will be broad, she said. It will include the state’s 24-week abortion ban, the Executive Council’s defunding of family planning and sex ed programs, and the closure of maternity wards across the state.

“Restoring justice is about having autonomy over your body and being able to choose if and when you become pregnant,” Warriner said in an interview. “It can begin with knowledge about sex and contraception access all the way up to access to abortion and having the ability to parent with dignity in a safe environment.”

In a release Tuesday, the group said its goal is to “shift the tides in the Granite State and oust anti-abortion politicians from office.”
