John Lynch on Abortion

Democratic NH Governor

Emergency contraception without a prescription

I am pro-choice, but I also believe that we need to do what we can to reduce the number of abortions. That is why I fought for a law that gives women in New Hampshire access to emergency contraception without a prescription and age-appropriate family planning education. I believe parents should be involved in decisions regarding minors, but recognize that is not possible in every family. That have supported legislation to ensure minors receive adult counseling and support. Source: N.H. Gubernatorial 2010 PVS Political Courage Test , Nov 3, 2010
