New Hampshire lawmakers considered SB 551 to protect abortion providers from out-of-state legal actions and debated repealing the state's 25-foot patient safety buffer zones around abortion facilities. The House Judiciary Committee advanced the repeal bill along party lines but unanimously rejected a proposal requiring state-funded medical centers to refer patients to pregnancy resource centers alongside abortion providers.
