New Hampshire lawmakers want to ensure that women have no health services and also provide better protections for perpetrators of domestic violence. In a press conference today, House Speaker Bill O'Brien (R-Mont Vernon) said "We have to make sure that women, especially poor women, cannot gain access to any health services whatsoever. As an added bonus, we've decided to make it almost impossible to arrest anyone accused of domestic violence." He continued, "Working with the Susan B. Anthony List, we'll pass this anti-woman bill in the dark of night, with no hearings and no consultation. The first you'll hear of it being law is when someone tries to get their husband arrested for beating the living daylights of his wife!" The law stipulates that the police can't arrest anyone for domestic violence unless they witness the wife or girlfriend, or child, being beaten.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said in a statement. "This is a great victory in what has become a nationwide battle to stop taxpayer funding of abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. We're also delighted the Speaker has decided to remove whatever protection women had from violent husbands and boyfriends; it's about time we got back to the time when women were the property of their men and second class citizens!"
