Let’s meet

Matthew Simon

State Representative,
New Hampshire House District Grafton 1

Republican

The proof:

Matthew voted against a bill that creates an exception to the 24 week abortion ban in cases of fetal abnormalities incompatible with life, and clarifies that the pre-abortion ultrasound requirement only applies if the fetus is at least 24 weeks.

Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Matthew they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

How to reach them:
What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.
