“It’s allowed me to have my children when I was physically and mentally ready, including my baby girl just last week,” she continued.
Tolle added that the experience of giving birth to her third baby had “reinvigorated” her commitment to make abortion a right for everyone in the state, including her daughter.
“I want my children to have the right to self-determination about these decisions. I want Granite Staters to know that reproductive decisions are their own, and I want voters to know that their reproductive decisions are their own.” “I want people to consider this important issue,” she said.
Ultimately, the state House of Representatives voted 193-184 to advance the abortion amendment. However, the amendment fell short of the three-fifths majority needed to send the measure before voters.
