Anyone who claims to be surprised by this is also likely to be surprised when they learn zebras have stripes, jackals are carnivores, and skunks spray.
Despite spending big on ads in 2024 promising they wouldn't, NH Republicans have filed multiple 2025 bills to restrict abortion rights, including a travel ban and mandatory anti-abortion curriculum in schools. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/11/n...

This could prove to be an early crucial test for incoming Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, given her oft-repeated promise to hold the line against any further restrictions on abortion. It’s often your own party that can cause the biggest political headaches under unified government. #NHPolitics
