Why Voting for Repro Equity in NH Matters — Especially This Year

New Hampshire has a long history of standing up for reproductive freedom. But following recent attacks on these values from a small group of New Hampshire executive and legislative leaders, there is work to do to protect and expand access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care.

Here’s what Repro Equity Now is paying close attention to in the Granite State:

Pledge to Vote for Repro Equity
This Election Day

Fighting for reproductive equity means fighting to ensure that every Granite Stater has the ability to make dignified choices about their bodies on their own terms. From family planning, to maternal health care, to abortion care, to child care, each person deserves the ability to make personal choices about their sexual and reproductive lives.

Here in New Hampshire, we need reproductive equity now. If you agree, join us by pledging to vote for candidates who are fighting for our reproductive equity up and down the ballot this election cycle.
