Good morning, Hampton and North Hampton. Here are five things you need to know for Tuesday, Jan. 22:

1. Today’s Winnacunnet High School Sports Matchups (information via Winnacunnet.org):

Boys Basketball vs. Bishop Guertin – JV at 5:00/Varsity at 6:30

4. This Day in History: On this day in 1973, in a historic decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that women, as part of their constitutional right to privacy, can terminate a pregnancy during its first two trimesters.

Only during the last trimester, when the fetus can survive outside the womb, would states be permitted to regulate abortion of a healthy pregnancy.
