NH fails to protect unborn

Last week, the NH legislature failed to pass a fetal protection bill. The bill was introduced as the result of a motor vehicle accident where a drunk driver ran a red light at 100 mph, slammed into a taxi killing the passenger. The driver of the taxi was 7 months pregnant and the baby was delivered by emergency c-section. The lived for two weeks before eventually succumbing to his injuries. The driver of the car was convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide. The second count was overturned by the NH Supreme Court because there was no applicable law that would allow for the conviction. The court opened the door for the legislature to define what the law should look like and the legislature drew up a bill and brought it to a vote. It went down 219-122.

We have reached a point in our state where we can't even protect a child where they should be the safest. It is no wonder God is lifting His hand of protection from our country.
