A requirement that would force all people getting abortions in New Hampshire to submit to an ultrasound exam remains in the budget deal, after Republican negotiators in the House and Senate blocked a measure to eliminate it.
The budget provision is part of the GOP-backed ban on abortion after 24 weeks.
Nashua Senator Cindy Rosenwald, a Democrat, asked the budget negotiating committee to eliminate mandatory ultrasounds for all abortions, and introduced an amendment to strip the ultrasound provision from the budget. Forcing patients to have an ultrasound before even a first trimester abortion is shaming and it is an unnecessary barrier to care,” Rosenwald said. But Republicans on the budget negotiation committee refused to second her proposal, which ended the effort.
