Remember your high school Latin? O tempora! O mores! It means, What a time! What a state of affairs! It's a more appropriate motto for New Hampshire now than Live Free or Die.

Last year's election results were so bad that I felt like I went to sleep in New Hampshire and woke up in Massachusetts. It was 139 years ago when the Granite State last had a majority of Democrats in the Senate, and the House of Representatives, and a Democratic Governor. For perspective, that was when Ulysses S. Grant was elected President. The difference is that this group of pro-abortionists approves of unlimited abortion in ways that must have their forefathers spinning in their graves.

The principal target of the new takeover is the parental notice law we passed in 2003. They're set on repealing it. The House has already voted to repeal the law.

That was made possible because, in addition to capturing the Senate and the governor's office, pro-abortion Democrats went from a small minority to a majority in the House.

Not that things were idyllic when Republicans controlled both houses and the governor's office. A huge chunk of the Republican majority in the past was pro-abortion.

Passing pro-life laws was considered impossible for decades.

But we passed 2003's parental notice law by a five vote margin in the House, and by one vote in the Senate. The governor then, Craig Benson, was a pro-life Republican whose assistance was invaluable.
