(NH) Governor signs emergency contraception bill
CONCORD, N.H. — Gov. John Lynch on Thursday signed a bill that would make emergency contraception _ better known as the "morning-after" pill _ available to women hoping to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Lynch, a Democrat who supports abortion rights, praised the bill´s strong bipartisan effort. "It is just good common sense," he said of the measure, which is similar to one enacted a year ago in Maine.

The New Hampshire Legislature passed a similar bill last year, but then-Republican Gov. Craig Benson vetoed it.

2. they should do just that
NH is a swing state and the more that the Republican Party is identified with religious fanatics rather than fiscal conservatism the better we will do in the state in both national and local elections.
