Today, Governor Chris Sununu issued the following statement regarding Roe v. Wade:

“As a pro-choice governor, I am committed to upholding Roe v. Wade, which is why I am proud of the bipartisan bill headed to my desk this year that expands access. So long as I am governor, these health care services for women will remain safe and legal.”

Last evening, Rep. Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s consideration of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization after a draft opinion striking down Roe v. Wade in its entirety was reported:

“If confirmed, the Supreme Court’s pending decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a heinous attack on women and disregards a half-century of precedent upholding the constitutional right to abortion and the rights of women to make their own reproductive choices.

“Sadly, this is not surprising given the shameless politicization of the Supreme Court and Republicans’ relentless assault on the rights of women in the Granite State and across the country. Despite the egregious attacks — whether it be recent efforts in the State House in New Hampshire or the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. — I will continue working tirelessly to defend abortion rights and the rights of women to bodily autonomy.”
