  • At the National Right to Life convention, Kelly Ayotte criticized Barack Obama’s stance on abortion. She said, "How we treat the weakest among us is truly a reflection on who we are as a nation and President Obama’s record shocks the conscious when it comes to protecting life and unfortunately on many other issues as well."[1]
  • In 2011, Ayotte co-sponsored the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."[2]
  • New Hampshire passed a law in June 2003 requiring parental consent for a minor to have an abortion. Planned Parenthood challenged the law, and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire found the law unconstitutional. In 2004, Ayotte, who was New Hampshire's attorney general, brought the case Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England to the Supreme Court and won. According to RedState.com, "Although the Supreme Court had quibbles with the New Hampshire law, the Court ultimately upheld a state’s right to enact parental notification laws."[3]
