I am sharing my public comments this week at a meeting of the Nashua Board of Alderman in regard to an anti-Catholic vote by Democrat Nashua Alderman-at-large Melbourne Moran, Jr. that was made when he was serving as my NH state representative in 2022.

Moran identified himself as a “God-fearing Catholic” at a previous Board of Alderman meeting when he attacked me about my raising of the Save Women’s Sports flag on the Citizen Flag Pole on the Nashua City Hall plaza.
Moran never misses a chance to criticize New Hampshire Republicans, including Governor Chris Sununu.
I am here to talk to you Aldermen Moran about your vote as a state rep on bill HB1625 that would have repealed the unconstitutional buffer zone law. Although you are vocal in your opposition to Governor Sununu’s agenda on many issues, you showed solidarity with him for giving private abortion businesses control of public sidewalks when you voted to uphold his veto of the bill.
As a Catholic, you know that Christians are called to serve the most vulnerable and who is more vulnerable than a pregnant mother and her child? Your fellow Catholics are on the public sidewalks outside abortion facilities to offer help to pregnant mothers in their hour of most desperate need when they are considering ending the lives of their precious preborn children.
You may ask what good your fellow Catholics are doing on the sidewalks outside abortion facilities. They are reaching out with offers of help to women who are there under threat of being thrown out of their homes by abusive partners or angry parents, women who are being sexually trafficked, and women who are addicted to drugs. They are reaching immigrant women, documented and undocumented, who feel like strangers in a strange land and who don’t know who to turn to for help.
One of the mothers who was recently helped was an immigrant from Brazil who was pregnant with twins who was being physically abused by her husband. Her husband told her she must have an abortion or else. Your fellow Catholics were there for her on the sidewalk and offered her help, which she gratefully accepted. They threw her a baby shower. She was so grateful and she gave birth to her beautiful twins.
They have saved many more babies with equally heartwarming stories.
These are happy stories that everyone should be celebrating.
And yet you voted with Sununu to allow private abortion businesses to force your fellow Catholics off the public sidewalk and deprive these vulnerable women and their babies of lifesaving help. You accuse Sununu of not caring but where is your compassion?
On a related topic, I am looking forward to candidates challenging potential presidential candidate Governor Sununu about his opposition to freedom of speech as detailed in NH Governor Chris Sununu Whacks the First Amendment and Takes All His Credibility With It. If you are working on a presidential campaign, please share this with your candidate.
