If the buffer zone law were enforced at Planned Parenthood in Manchester the following encounters would have never happened. The high school student was driven to Planned Parenthood by her pastor.
The teenager said her father would kill her if he found out she was pregnant. After talking to us she decided to go with her pastor and talk to her father. Five months later her father invited her friends to a baby shower. Happy grandfather.
A 31-year-old woman left Planned Parenthood with offers of resources to continue her pregnancy. She said her husband told her to get an abortion. After several months her husband had a change of heart and he held one of the twins at the baptism
A mother and daughter arrived and as they walked into Planned Parenthood they heard the words “Pregnant? We will help you with whatever you need.” A while later they came out and approached the person who had spoken to them. The woman said she needed a place to live. Her mother’s boyfriend did not want her to live with them. We found her an apartment that she moved into that weekend. She has a beautiful daughter.
It was a bitterly cold morning and the teenager was wearing a borrowed coat that was too small. She came to talk to us but, we had to use a phone translator until a friend could leave work and come to speak with her. The friend helped the teenager through the pregnancy, finding her a place to live. Now the young mom and baby are part of the family.
We want to thank Catherine Kelley for this Op-Ed.

The couple arrived in an old car and slowly walked into Planned Parenthood. The man came out and talked to us. He said we have three kids and my wife doesn’t think we can afford another child. He did not want his child aborted and felt he had no other choice. We encouraged him to go back inside PP and talk to his wife. He said they won’t let me back in and her phone is off. We asked him to try. He did and he came out with his wife. He was all smiles. He said thank you and waved as they drove off.
These are some of the lives saved because good people exercised their right to peaceful assembly on a public sidewalk.
HB 1625 will repeal New Hampshire’s unconstitutional “buffer zone” law, which allows abortion clinics to ban people from engaging in speech or silent prayer on sidewalks outside of abortion clinics.
In 2016, just before he was first elected Governor, Sununu pledged in a letter to repeal the buffer zone law. Please reach out to the Governor to remind him of his promise to the pro-life citizens of New Hampshire and ask that he sign HB 1625.
The Governor can be reached at 603-271-2121 or 603-271-7676.
