— Brian Nadeau, Raymondsupports
“Please support this bill. All youth should be made aware of what goes on in an abortion. Knowing the truth of what goes on in an abortion matters.…”
— Catherine Schlottmann, Dunbartonsupports
“If frequent viewing of pornography and violence is not harmful for children, then neither is truthful education regarding abortion.”
— Patrice Myers, Concordsupports
“AFT-NH opposes this bill because it is state interference with local control over curriculum and choosing curriculum materials. The bill envisions this overreach to be backed up with penalties by the attorney general if the district does not submit.…”

“I strongly oppose the use of videos in classrooms from non-scientifically minded organizations like Live Action. Their videos are not primarily educational, they are ideological.…”
— Samantha Immele, Nashuaopposes
“First, why only public school students- love how our money is being diverted to private institutions via the voucher system for the rich, and there are never any requirements put on them. Second, this is just one more bogus overreach by Concord on women's reproductive health.…”
