Roe V. Wade: 40 Years Later, A NH Take

It’s been forty years since the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, Roe v.

Guests:

Susan Arnold - Chair of NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire

Fran Wendleboe - Assistant Secretary of the NH Republican State Committee, Former Republican Representative from New Hampton

Kevin Landrigan - Longtime political reporter for the Telegraph of Nashua and lead writer for TheLobbyNH.com
