"Thank you for visiting the NHRTL website.   We defend all innocent human life without exception or compromise because a genuine pro-life ethic insists, like the Declaration of Independence, that we are all created equal.   Thus no babies are "expendable" for the sake of convenience or possibly saving other babies.   Some research, some reflection, and some prayer can reveal to you why focused activism is the most compassionate response for mothers in trouble and babies in jeopardy.    Join NHRTL today and learn how our group, led by 15 volunteer trustees, is fighting for the right to life for all."          -- Ed Holdgate, NHRTL President

  • LEGISLATION:  HELP GET AMENDMENT TO HB-39 PASSED
    Contact the Members of the NH House Education Committee
    On November 16, 2005, the House Education Committee will consider an Amendment to House Bill 39 that will give PARENTS the right to opt their children out of any Family Life and Sexuality Health Course which conflicts with their personal religious beliefs.   HB-39 will give PARENTS a simple Form that they can fill out and submit to local school officials advising them of a conflict with religious values. It will allow PARENTS to have the final say about whether or not their child will receive instructions in a subject matter that many consider essentially tied to their religious principles.  Click for a full report (in Acrobat Reader PDF or in MS-Word doc), and the contact information for the NH House Education Committee members.  Please contact them before November 16!  Thanks!

     

  • FIRST Saturday, Dec. 3, Witness against Planned Parenthood
         Join us on Saturday, December 3 to oppose Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion "provider" in the nation.  They teach youth about sex, sell them abortifacients (wrongly called contraceptives) and then tempt women with human pesticide drugs or surgical abortions.  They enjoy massive government funding, many corporate sponsors, frequent access to high schools, and even funding through certain United Way programs.   Please keep the pressure on the Planned Parenthood shell-game operation and pray for the day they have to hold bake-sales for their so-called "charity".   Join us Saturday, December 3, 10am to Noon at the intersection of Elm and Pennacook Street (behind the Rite Aid).  This is a couple blocks south of the Amoskeag Bridge on the East side of the Merrimack.

  • Parent Group Forms in Hollis/Brookline Opposing P.Parenthood;
    Need Your Help on October 18 and Oct. 25 to Promote Abstinence
    A new parents' group called "Citizens for the Healthiest Choices" is fighting to get Planned Parenthood out of the Hollis/Brookline school system.   Contact Mary Zore at (603) 673-7169 or at TheZore5@charter.net for more information and details.
    1) YOU ARE NEEDED ON OCTOBER 18:   Anita Coll from the State of NH Abstinence Task Force is giving a parent presentation on October 18 at the Hollis Social Library, 2 Monument Square,  in Hollis at 7PM.  The School Board is watching to see how many people attend in support of a strong abstinence program.  This event has been arranged by the parents' group and not by the schools.  The night after the meeting is a vote on the abstinence program, so your help on October 18 is needed.
    2)  YOU ARE NEEDED ON OCTOBER 25:  The school is having an open forum on October 25th for the abstinence program as well.  The school had admitted that Planned Parenthood materials are used elementary through high school.  Students who went through the program have told us they were taught that oral sex was an alternative to intercourse.  The school, of course does not confirm or deny these things but says it does not know.    Right now the on-line curriculum lists "planned parenthood activities" on the materials list for Grade Nine.   Abstinence is being grouped in with birth control as a means of preventing pregnancy rather than being discussed as a commitment and self discipline that excludes casual sexual activity.

    3)  YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW TOO:     If you live in Hollis or Brookline please call Carol Mace at the school and say you want Planned Parenthood materials and presence removed from the curriculum and classrooms.  Say you support a 100% abstinence-only program that doesn't give a double message to teens. Call your school board representatives and tell them you want Planned Parenthood out as well, and that you support a curriculum that doesn't include instruction with birth control pills and condoms.  Ask that an abstinence-until-marriage program be made available to parents who want that.  Tell them all parents should have a voice and a choice in what the sex education program should teach.

  • DEC. 4, 2004 ARREST NEAR PLANNED  PARENTHOOD
    Grand Jury declines to indict on felony charge.  Two misdemeanor charges still pending
     NH Right to Life has been opposing the Manchester Planned Parenthood abortion clinic near the corner of Elm and Pennacook Street for nearly 5 years--even before it opened.   Faithful pro-lifers, to their credit, have peacefully, prayerfully, and persistently witnessed there even during excessive cold and heat and rain and snow, and alleged vandalism.

    Soon after the December 4, 2004 "First Saturday" witness started, a very agitated and presumably hurting young man yelled obscenities at the pro-lifers and (allegedly) brandished a shotgun in the window of his house.  

    During the tense moments, he reported a painful experience in his past.   NHRTL very much holds this man in prayer, thanks the 10+ pro-lifers who were at the event for their calm courage, and thanks God nothing worse occurred.

    NHRTL reminds the City of Manchester that we led vehement opposition to the opening of this abortion clinic, and especially insisted it did not belong in this residential neighborhood.

    In August 2005, a Grand Jury declined to indict the defendant on a felony charge, but two misdemeanor charges are still pending.

    NHRTL asserts that Planned Parenthood (the biggest abortion provider in the nation) is leaving wounded women, hurting men, and dead babies behind, while abortionists can leave to count their profit money.   Abortion violence against unborn babies should be outlawed, and the multi-million dollars in taxpayer funding Planned Parenthood now enjoys should be re-routed to initiatives to help heal those who have been tempted and taunted into making the horrific "choice".

  • HOLY HOUR SERVICE, JANUARY 21
    The Bishop Peterson Council of the Knights of Columbus have planned a Holy Hour for Friday, January 21, at St. Joseph's Church on Main Street in Salem.    It begins at 7pm with a Rosary led by the Knights of Fr. Pavone Pro-Life Mysteries.   Mass begins at 7:30pm, and features the prayer "Affirming Life" at the end, followed by the closing song "The Unborn Child".   Refreshments served after Mass.

  • DAY OF FASTING & ROSARY FOR LIFE, JAN. 22
     The Knights of Columbus of eleven Catholic parishes of Southern NH join together on the anniversary of legalized abortion to sponsor a day of fasting and prayer for the Culture of Life.  The type of fast can be selected by each individual, on your own, but  it is suggested to abstain  from solid foods for 24 hours starting at 7pm, Friday evening,  Jan 21. The fasting period for the sins of our  nation includes 24 hours of Rosary, ending with Benediction at St. Mark’s Church, Londonderry, starting 7:30pm Saturday evening Jan 22.  Refreshments will be available after the service.  All are invited to participate in the fast and prayer at home, even if they cannot attend at the church.   For more info, call John @ 434-4098.

  • HOUR OF PRAYER FOR LIFE, FIRST FRIDAYS
    OF EVERY MONTH STARTING ON JANUARY 7
    Beginning at 11am on Friday, January 7, and on all subsequent first Fridays, you are invited to participate in an hour of prayer and mediation to foster respect for the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death, and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood.   The location is St. Patrick's, 29 Spring Street, Nashua.  The hour of silent and communal prayer will conclude with the celebration of the Eucharist at 12:05.   For more information, please call Janet Heitmiller at 889-9333.

  • PRAYER  VIGIL  AT  YWCA / MANCHESTER
    The prayer vigils at the Manchester YWCA Teen "Health" Clinic continue in faithful opposition to their pro-abortion operations.   A December 8 team led by Betty Breuder, Vice President of NHRTL was vigilant and prayerful out in front of the clinic at 72 Concord Street, Manchester.  Stay tuned for the next pro-life presence planned for this misguided YWCA.
