NH-GOV: Kelly Ayotte misleads Granite Staters about abortion rights in new ad

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte is known to have an extreme record on abortion.

The former US Senator voted to defund Planned Parenthood three times, and has said that if elected governor, she would further push to defund Planned Parenthood.

In a new ad, however, Ayotte appears to claim that all is well with women’s rights in New Hampshire, noting that Granite State lawmakers passed an abortion bill “protecting the freedom to a safe, legal abortion for any reason up to six months of pregnancy.”

“Either Kelly Ayotte has never actually read the law she’s spending thousands of dollars to talk about on television or she is deliberately trying to mislead voters about her position on abortion rights,” said Kayla Montgomery, New Hampshire spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Votes in a news release. “ I’m going to say based on her history of lying to voters about her anti-choice record that it’s the latter.”
