New Hampshire HB1313 repeals buffer zones around reproductive health care facilities, citing First Amendment concerns.

New Hampshire HB1313, known as "The Sidewalk Free Speech Act," repeals buffer zones around reproductive health care facilities. The bill argues that such zones infringe upon free speech rights, citing Supreme Court cases and the state's constitution. It asserts that these zones would be subject to constitutional challenges and likely struck down. The repeal takes effect immediately upon passage.
