Maggie Karner Urges Fearless Debate on Assisted Suicide
I doubt that Maggie Karner rang in the new year thinking she was going to be asked to speak at a conference against assisted suicide. She probably didn’t foresee the suicide of Brittany Maynard or the very well-publicized media campaign that went along with it. She certainly didn’t expect to be diagnosed with a brain […]
Federal judge puts NH buffer zone law on hold
A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a New Hampshire law that would have barred demonstrations of any kind within a zone extending up to 25 feet from abortion facilities. The law had been scheduled to go into effect today. The ruling in Reddy v. Foster came in response to a lawsuit filed this […]
Lawsuit filed against NH “buffer zone”
In the wake of a Supreme Court decision striking down a Massachusetts “buffer zone” law, seven New Hampshire residents have filed suit to strike down a similar law in New Hampshire.

SCOTUS Makes Right Decision on Buffer Zone Law for the Wrong Reason
New Hampshire’s buffer zone law is based on a Massachusetts law that has just been ruled unconstitutional. So much for one sorry attempt at “bipartisanship.” It seems Democrats and Republicans are equally capable of dismissing the Bill of Rights. In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the Massachusetts buffer zone law unconstitutional. […]
Michael Medved on Social Conservative & Libertarian Synthesis
There were two lively panels at CPAC yesterday, meaning two panels that actually featured people with opposing views who aired their differences (in a civil manner, I might add). One involved the tension between national security and privacy. The other, much more relevant to the life issues, was about whether social conservatives and libertarians can […]
New Hampshire legislators expected to reject abortion stats & licensing bills
The New Hampshire House will vote later this week on a committee recommendation to kill a bill calling for licensing of abortion facilities in the state. A bill to require the state to collect abortion statistics will likely be sent to study. The proposed Women’s Health Protection Act (HB 1501) has ten co-sponsors and was […]
Republican Hemingway declares candidacy for NH governor
Andrew Hemingway has become the first New Hampshire Republican to announce a 2014 run against Democratic incumbent governor Maggie Hassan. The conservative activist and self-described “political technology entrepreneur” from Bristol made his declaration to a crowd of about 100 people in Manchester on Thursday evening. Calling Hassan “a status quo” governor, Hemingway outlined his platform […]
New Hampshire considers bill to track abortions
New Hampshire is one of three states that do not report any abortion statistics to the federal Centers for Disease Control. A hearing in a New Hampshire House committee hearing this week may be the first step in changing that. House Bill 1502 has eight co-sponsors, led by Rep. Kathleen Souza (R-Manchester.) “We need the […]
Former U.S. Senator Bob Smith coming back to challenge Shaheen in New Hampshire
Bob Smith represented New Hampshire in Washington for eighteen years, winning three terms in the House and two in the Senate. He was famous for his conservative views, his pro-life beliefs, and his clashes with Republican leadership. He met defeat in the 2002 GOP primary at the hands of John E. Sununu, who went on […]
