“The work of the pro-life movement is necessary in New Hampshire where elective abortions are done as late as 24 weeks into pregnancy,” said Jordan Moorman, SFLAction Political Field Coordinator. “As the primary election approaches, our team will be educating voters on candidates’ records that lack crucial support for women and the preborn.”

CONCORD, N.H. and WASHINGTON, D.C. (09-09-2022) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will deploy grassroot activists to Goffstown, New Hampshire from September 11-13, 2022, engaging in door-to-door canvassing to inform voters on state Representative Joe Alexander, Jr.’s record on abortion.
SFLAction’s activism trip comes days ahead of the state’s primary and aims to inform voters on Rep. Alexander’s record that has often sided with the abortion lobby and not the preborn or women. By voting against HB 1180, Rep. Alexander blocked protections that would prohibit men from being housed in biological women’s prisons and compete in women’s sports.
“Just because an elected official has an ‘R’ next to their name, doesn’t mean you can count on them to be 100% pro-life,” said Jordan Moorman, SFLAction Political Field Coordinator. “We will work throughout the district to educate voters on the realities of cruel, late-term abortions and how leaders can take a stand to protect life in law and service.”
In 2021 as a Judiciary Committee member, Rep. Alexander joined with committee Democrats to turn a pro-life bill into one giving new life to efforts to destroy the New Hampshire limit on late-term abortions. He also joined others in supporting fatal fetal abnormalities in HB 1609, but SFLAction rejects prejudice against the preborn based on race, sex, perception of abilities, or a parent’s crimes.
New Hampshire’s current law permits elective abortions as late as 24 weeks. Dr. Maureen Condic, Ph.D., an associate professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Utah, testified before Congress and stated that a preborn child is “capable of mature pain perception” as early as 12-18 weeks gestation.
