From the Paper:

The law originated in the state of New Hampshire from a woman in the legislature by the name of Phyllis Woods. She was a former credit bureau manager prior to being elected to the legislature. Her decision to enter politics was based on the issue of abortion as in 1997; New Hampshire repealed some laws which removed some restrictions. She was quoted as saying, "I felt the legislators were doing something wrong."
