2024 NH Governor's race: on Abortion

Joyce Craig: We need to protect access to abortion

I will always support access to abortion. The government has no role in a decision that should remain between a woman, her family, and her doctor--and I'll fight to ensure it stays that way. New Hampshire is the only state in New England that hasn't codified Roe vs. Wade. We need to protect access to abortion, so every woman in our state knows their rights aren't up for grabs.

Cinde Warmington: Freedom is being able to plan, prevent, space pregnancies

Warmington said reproductive rights are one of the key drivers of her campaign. She said reversing the state's restriction on abortions after 24 weeks and passing legislation to codify abortion rights into state statute are priorities. "Freedom starts with being able to plan and prevent and space our pregnancies, and there is no autonomy, there is no freedom for women without that ability," she said. Source: N.H.

Cinde Warmington: Uphold our fundamental rights, including right to choose

One vote on the Executive Council is the difference between Planned Parenthood being funded and women across our state being denied essential health care services; one vote on the Executive Council is the difference between a Supreme Court that upholds our fundamental rights and one who seeks to undermine the right to choose, the right to vote and the right to marry the one you love.

The Executive Council can ensure we have state agency leaders who will forward and protect the mission of the agency. It can ensure we have judges who will uphold our fundamental rights, including those rights currently under assault, such as the right to choose and the right to vote. The Executive Council also plays a critical role in the state contracting process, making sure our hard-earned dollars are spent in a way that is both fiscally responsible and consistent with our values.

Joyce Craig: OpEd: Ayotte is vulnerable on the abortion issue

Former Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte is facing Democrat Joyce Craig, former mayor of Manchester, in a New Hampshire 2024 election.

Ayotte enters the race with some clear advantages. As a former United States senator and state attorney general, she's better known and will be able to bring in a lot of money. But Ayotte has some vulnerabilities too, he said. While Ayotte has said repeatedly she will not change New Hampshire's abortion law, [and pundits] think Craig is likely to hit her on reproductive rights because of her anti-abortion background and her role as the "sherpa" for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

"If I were the national Democrats right in charge of investing in governor's races, I would say to myself, 'Look, Ayotte is vulnerable on the abortion issue, and will Donald Trump get 45% of the vote in New Hampshire? Or is Donald Trump really going to play very much in New Hampshire, right? Doesn't appear so, so far," [one pundit] said.
