CONCORD – U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement ahead of the 49th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling:

“As an adoption attorney for 25 years, I worked with more than 300 birth mothers making the most personal, private decisions of their lives. They consulted their families, loved ones, and doctors, but not one looked to the government to make that choice for them.

“Safe access to reproductive and preventive care, including abortion, is essential to the health and well-being of women and families. That’s why I was proud to help introduce the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021 to take urgent action to protect the reproductive freedoms of all, regardless of the state they live in. The House passed this bill last year — on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it is essential that the Senate follow suit to protect the freedoms of women across the country.”
