New Hampshire Governor Vetoes Bill Banning Partial-Birth Abortions | New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D) vetoed a bill that would have prohibited partial-birth abortions. The bill would have required not only that a “qualified physician examine the pregnant woman and determine whether she suffered from a life-threatening condition,” but also that the physician then seek a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis, before going ahead with the abortion. Lynch said that the added restrictions are unnecessary and would jeopardize the life of the mother in emergencies. –Nina Liss-Schultz
