The New Hampshire House rejected on Thursday a measure that would change the state Constitution to enshrine abortion as a right for women up to the sixth month of pregnancy.

The 193-184 vote favored asking voters to enshrine those rights in their constitution, but it fell short of the majority threshold that was needed to advance the proposal.
