Bill O`Brien:
Led override of veto of partial-birth abortion ban
O'Brien presided over the House when it had an anti-abortion majority in 2011-2012. The House during that window passed a partial-birth abortion ban, a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, a requirement of a 24-hour waiting period before receiving an
abortion, and a proposal to prohibit the use of public funds for abortions. The GOP-led Senate at the time killed three of those four bills, but O'Brien got the Legislature to override then-Gov. John Lynch's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban.

Bill O`Brien:
Would ban abortion in all cases, including rape and incest
O'Brien told WMUR he supported the Alabama law that would ban abortion in all cases, including rape and incest. "I believe in the sanctity of life. I'm not willing to say that any life is a life that ought to be done away with," O'Brien said. "It
horrifies me that a Supreme Court would say yes to unborn death. But put that aside, it's not the law of the land. They should be interpreting the law of the land. They made it up. We have originalists on the court now. We should have more of them."

Jeanne Shaheen:
Shaheen amendment provides reproductive care in foreign aid
A coalition of 44 national pro-life leaders is objecting to Shaheen's amendment to a bipartisan spending bill. The bill provides $665 million for "family planning and reproductive health care" and includes funds for the U.N. Population Fund, which
has backed China's one-child, forced-abortion policy. The pro-life leaders say Shaheen's amendment would "undermine" President Trump's pro-life policies overseas that serve to block American taxpayer dollars from supporting abortion in other countries.

Gloria Bromell Tinubu:
Against funding Planned Parenthood
"Well, first of all, I fully support the president in his Planned Parenthood view. I do not support funding Planned Parenthood as it is today because money is going to abortions, 330,000 abortions," Bolduc said at a Hollis GOP meeting. "Planned
Parenthood is not the way we need to go. It's not the way the president wants to go. It's not the way I will support; you know, surveys show it's not the way New Hampshire wants to go."

Andy Martin:
Committed to sanctity of life, within the rule of law
Other than making promises they can't keep to pass abortion legislation, congress has very little to do with the abortion debate.
I am committed to the sanctity of life but I am also committed to the rule of law.
