From the OP:

“Granite State Republicans have taken attacks on reproductive freedom to a new crisis level,” Heather Williams, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee president, said Tuesday. “It’s hard to wrap my brain around just how unconscionable and dangerous a 15-day abortion ban is.”
Yep, not killing your baby is "dangerous".

With a Republican trifecta in the Senate, House and governor’s mansion, the bill has a real chance to become law.

Republicans in New Hampshire filed one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country on Tuesday ― and a GOP trifecta could allow the bill to become law once the legislature starts its 2024 session next month.

The bill was pre-filed in the House in September, but the full text of the abortion ban was only released Tuesday morning. The legislation “prohibits abortion, other than for a medical emergency, if the gestational age of the fetus is more than 15 days,” according to the bill text.

“The 15-day abortion ban filed by Republican lawmakers is an insult to Granite Staters,” state Rep. Alexis Simpson, deputy leader for the New Hampshire House Democratic caucus, said Tuesday. “At 15 days, most women do not even know they are pregnant. We must say it like it is ― this proposal would amount to a complete abortion ban in New Hampshire, with no exceptions.”

Three Republicans in the state House and one in the state Senate co-sponsored the bill. The main sponsor, state Rep. Dave Testerman (R), introduced several anti-choice bills last legislative session, including a ban on abortion once fetal cardiac activity is detected.

The sponsors define a medical emergency as “a condition in which an abortion is necessary to preserve the life of the pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury.” The legislation specifies that a life-threatening physical condition caused by the pregnancy itself that creates “a serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” is also included under the medical emergency exception.

There are no exceptions for rape or incest under the bill’s current language. The bill includes a felony penalty and a $100,000 fine for any provider who performs or induces an abortion after 15 days’ gestation. The ban will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, if it successfully passes through the state legislature and the governor signs it into law.

The bill, which is unlikely to pass, amounts to an outright abortion ban. Gestational age is calculated from the first day of the woman’s period; at 15 days gestational age, a fertilized egg — if it exists yet — has most likely not implanted in the uterine wall. Implantation is the point when pregnancy begins, according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.


The four Republicans represent some of the more extreme views on abortion in the New Hampshire legislature, and they may not be able to get the support they need to pass the bill.
