By MICHAEL KITCH, LACONIA DAILY SUNCONCORD — As the lone Democrat in the Belknap County delegation, Rep. David Huot of Laconia most often finds himself in a minority of one. But, this week when the New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected a bill to prohibit aborting a fetus after a physician has determined it would survive outside the womb by a vote of 189 to 170, Huot was joined in majority by Rep. Barbar Comtois of Barnstead. The remaining 11 members of the delegation, all Republicans, present and voting supported the bill: Marc Abear and Herb Vadney of Meredith, Glen Aldrich and Norm Silber of Gilford, Dennis Fields and Tim Lang of Sanbornton, Ray Howard and Peter Varney of Alton, Michael Maloney of Gilmanton, Peter Spanos of Laconia and Michael Sylvia of Belmont. Republicans Robert Fisher and Don Flanders of Laconia, Valerie Fraser of New Hampton and Jon Plumer of Belmont were excused and did not vote.
