CONCORD — A split House Judiciary Committee Tuesday voted down two bills that would have restricted abortions.
House Bill 1627 requires physicians to attempt to revive any aborted fetus that “showed any evidence of life.”
Opponents said HB 1627 would subject doctors to criminal prosecution under very vague concepts and would interfere with the doctor-patient relationship at a very sensitive time.
“We should not be legislating medical procedures from here,” said Rep. Charlene Takesian, R-Pelham.
