Worst State Government in the Union

Pew Research Grades New Hampshire

            North Hampton - - - The Pew Charitable Trust has rated the government of New Hampshire as the worst in the United States. Pew’s Government Performance Project gave the Granite State Government the only D+ in its report. Only one state came close to the bottom of the barrel: Rhode Island, C-.

            The Pew Project “evaluates how well states manage employees, budgets and finance, information, and infrastructure.”

            “The Pew metric illuminates consequences that manifest the government’s attitude,” said Roger Stenson, executive director of Citizens for Life. “The way our government treats our families, each individual family, is the most important of the consequences.”

            Indeed, Pew added that, “A focus on these critical areas helps ensure that states’ policy decisions and practices actually deliver their intended outcomes.”

            The policy decision of heaviest consequence is last year’s repeal of the state’s parental notice of abortion law. New Hampshire is the only state in America to do so. Passed in 2003, the law required abortion providers to notify just one parent of a minor girl before doing an abortion on her.

            “That was when we had a Republican majority in the House and the Senate, and a Republican Governor,” Stenson said. “Then, for the first time in over 130 years, all three ended up in the control of Democrats in 2006. One of the first orders of business was to remove parents from influencing their own children, and replacing Moms and Dads with Government. Government as viewed through the prism of the Democrat Party, and deciding that parents do not have the right to be involved in their minor daughters’ lives.”

            Challenged by such interests as Planned Parenthood and Governor Lynch, the law went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Seething with frustration, the high court ruled very quickly and unanimously that the lower courts had made such a messy collection of decisions that they had to do it over and get it right.

            “It must be recalled that the Democrat Party was the party of slavery and is the party of abortion,” Stenson added. “In 2006 the governing of New Hampshire went from control by the party of Lincoln to the party of the Clintons and the Shaheens.”

            “Should we really be surprised that we now have the worst government in the United States?” he concluded.

            Citizens for Life is the affiliate in New Hampshire of the National Right to Life Committee, the nation’s major pro-life organization, and was the principal lobby on passing the parental notice law in 2003.
