FINALLY! Right to sterilizing treatment is LAW in NH

Last Wednesday, the governor of NH signed into law HB 606, prime sponsored by Rep Ellen Read (dubbed by Republicans as "the AOC of NH"), which guarantees that a doctor cannot withhold advisable sterilizing treatment from a patient simply because they don't agree with their right to be childfree (or because they are “too young" or will "change their mind" etc).

This makes NH the first government in the WORLD to guarantee the protection to childfree people!

Countless people have shared their frustration with being denied needed hysterectomies or other sterilizing treatments, being needlessly subjected to miserable conditions like prolapsed uteruses, cyclical vomiting, or debilitating pain... And the risk of dying from high risk unintended pregnancies while having conditions like autoimmune disorders, genetic disorders, or cancer.

Now, people who are suffering while getting denied treatment can go to NH (the law has been signed and takes effect Sept 13) and have THE RIGHT to have medically advisable sterilization treatments, regardless of age (if over 18), number of children, marital status, or any fertility goals contrary to your statement.

While the law states that the treatment must be for a qualifying medical condition, the definition of a medical definition is quite broad. Not only anything that affects the reproductive organs, but also anything that would make having children not advisable. This may include family medical history of inheritable diseases, genetic conditions, conditions that make pregnancy dangerous like autoimmune disorders or cancer, or mental health conditions that would make someone not a good parent.

And while gender dysphoria itself neither counts as something that affects the reproductive organs nor would make having children not advisable, the doctor cannot discriminate against people with gender dysphoria in providing the treatment.
So if you've been suffering with denials from doctors who care more about your fertility than your well being, take a trip in the fall to NH, the fall colors are beautiful!

Stats:
Day 1: 46 miles, 2,128ft elevation gain
Day 2: 50 miles, 3,400ft (plus 3 miles to groceries)
Day 3: 48 miles, 1,580ft

Even with all of the obsessive route planning ahead of time I didn't consider road construction or closures, and the first day had both with a big dirt road climb and some sketchy Class VI back country walking/biking to get past a road closure to the camping area.

I went on my first bike packing trip this week. Three days of following the Connecticut river from Hanover NH/Norwich VT to nearly the top of the Vermont/New Hampshire border. Two great days of weather and one rainy one. Beautiful country.

Been quiet for a few days, because I've been busy cycling up Pack Monadnock for 4th of July weekend.

Three days, 3x climb up summit, 260 miles, 20,000 feet elevation gain.

If you're interested in how miserable it could be, how hard the climb is, and how I managed to pull it off, here's the first part (out of three):
