HB1769

Absolutely not. This state lives free or dies. How dare anyone considers this a win for NH.

I strongly oppose requiring referrals to reproductive health centers to also include anti-abortion organizations. These organizations routinely stretch the truth and spread medical misinformation, and forcing doctors to lend them an air of legitimacy will have serious negative consequences for public health. Doctors and health organizations should be making referrals based on their judgment of what's medically necessary, not based on rules made up by legislators with no knowledge of the specific patient.

Keep your nose out of a woman's right to choose, a decision that is between her and her doctor.

Pregnancy crisis centers are not medical facilities and do not provide safe or science backed care. They target and harm and already vulnerable population. State medical providers should be required to provide scientifically up to date, accurate and accessible care to all populations. Restricting that care based on identity politics is unscientific and will cause unnecessary harm up to and including adult and infant deaths.

Again I ask that you please let medical professionals do their job without political interference. Thank you.

Please *oppose* this bill. Thank you!

Again I ask that you please OPPOSE this bill. Thank you.

We should not be legislating control over a mother’s choices. I am personally against abortion but I do not have the right to force my beliefs on this on another person and the state should not either.

In the land of the free, it is abhorrent to attempt to limit the ways that people access and have access to healthcare and providers. This bill is a noxious attempt to remove autonomy from providers, patients, and community members. Kill this bill.

Please do not pass this bill. This is a woman’s choice and the government should not be involved in women’s choices.

abortions are part of health care options for women and a civil right. Denying women access to abortions is equivalent to death in some cases. We cannot find Women's health providers in the state if we are denying those providers the right to decode what is best for their patient.

This is 2026. The world has moved on from the dark ages

I oppose this bill deeply. Abortion is the only medical procedure we vote on. It is ridiculous. Someones income should not determine if they get adequate healthcare they should have the right to which ever procedures they would prefer. Stop policing bodies with uterus' please. I worry about my future healthcare as a granite stater woman.

Testimony in Opposition to HB 1769 (2026) – Relative to prohibitions on abortion referrals by publicly funded medical facilities As a New Hampshire resident, I respectfully urge the committee to oppose HB 1769. ? This bill would restrict medical counseling and referrals at publicly funded or publicly contracted facilities by prohibiting abortion referrals unless the provider believes there is a medical emergency or the provider also gives a referral to a “pregnancy resource center” (defined as a nonprofit that does not perform or refer for abortions). ? Patients deserve accurate, individualized, and timely information from their clinician; without political conditions attached. HB 1769 inserts the state into the exam room by dictating what a provider must do before making a lawful referral, even when the patient has already decided what care they want. That is not patient-centered care. HB 1769 also creates a punitive legal framework that will chill care and reduce access. It voids contracts made in violation of the bill and gives “aggrieved” taxpayers standing to sue for declaratory/injunctive relief and attorney’s fees, with potential punitive damages if a court finds “willful disregard.” This invites costly litigation, drives up compliance burdens, and may discourage facilities from accepting public funds, hurting patients who rely on those clinics for primary and preventive care. New Hampshire can support informed consent and high-quality health care without coercing referrals or weaponizing civil suits. Please vote Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL) on HB 1769. ?

Hands off women’s healthcare. It’s between her and her Doctor.

All doctors should be able to refer their patients to any and all medical procedures as the doctor and patient see fit without big government trying to get in their way.

Poor people need to have good and sufficient food.

Oppose

This is a violation of our rights as citizens. Stay out of women's health choices.

Government should not dictate who gets medical care, including reproductive care. The only people who should be involved are the patient and their provider.

Firstly, regulating against medical treatment that is proven to be safe and effective and recommended by licensed medical professionals is in no way the right or duty of an elected official with no medical training. It is borderline a criminal act of practicing medicine without a license. Secondly, as no competent doctor could ever approve of these restrictions, who determines when a medical emergency is happening? It is a fact of record even when such blatantly unconstitutional forced birth laws include openings for medical emergency that those limitations are always so restricting that a woman will have already suffered permanent harm before the doctor is safe to do their duty to provide necessary care. Thirdly, the falsely named pregnancy resource centers are religious anti-choice organizations, all of which have been proven in courts to regularly lied to women about their medical and legal options to deceive them into being forced to give birth, provide no actual resources or help to those pregnant women and regularly also further abuse women of color who are tricked into consulting with them. And even if they weren't proven fraudsters they are still RELIGIOUS organizations and it is blatantly unconstitutional to use the power of the law to allow them to interfere in anyone's life choices who does not willingly choose to associate with them.

This bill is completely unacceptable! How dare you try to dictate what I can and can't do with my body! How dare you have the audacity to know what is best for my health! How dare you push your religious beliefs upon us! Do you want women to die? What are you even thinking? These are medical decisions that are reserved for me and my doctor to make together!!!! How dare you!

I oppose this bill. The right to a safe abortion is between a person and their doctor, not the government

I can't believe women still have to fight our rights to access healthcare in 2026. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WOMEN'S BODIES.

No health centers should be forced to refer patents to anti-abortion centers, which often provide misleading or inaccurate information to patients. I strongly oppose this bill.
