"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 |

ELECTION 2004 RESULTS
ARE IN
This election season brought some good news, and some bad
news. We are very disappointed that the votes were not quite
enough to return pro-lifers Craig Benson as Governor, David Wheeler as
Executive Councilor, and Russ Prescott as State Senator. All
campaigned valiantly and honorably, and we hope they enjoy their 2 year
"vacation" because we need them back all rested! We are very
pleased that all other candidates NHRTL-PAC supported were returned to
office. We welcome new State Senators Bob Letourneau and
Peter Bragdon, and look forward to closely working with them.
It turns out the NHRTL Trustees Kathy Souza and Barbara Hagan were both
re-elected, but Trustee Warren Goddard was not able to win, running in
the relatively liberal Portsmouth. NHRTL-PAC
congratulates the following State Senators on their wins:
Dist 2 SEN. CARL JOHNSON
Dist 4 SEN. BOB BOYCE
Dist 9 SEN. SHEILA ROBERGE
Dist 11 SEN. PETER BRAGDON
Dist 17 SEN. JACK BARNES
Dist 18 SEN. ANDY MARTEL
Dist 19 SEN. BOB LETOURNEAU

GRIEVOUS ERRORS BY NH BUSH-CHENEY CAMPAIGN
In a
painful relevation, NHRTL discovered that the NH Bush-Cheney campaign
accidentally leased their Manchester headquarters from the very same property
management group (Metropolis) that owns the Manchester Planned Parenthood
abortuary. For three weeks in March 2004, NHRTL implored them to quietly move
out but they have declined. Much as we appreciate the pro-life
efforts of President Bush, his mid-level decision maker doesn't care enough
about the babies to stop giving lease money to a group that owns an abortion
mill.

Fr. James O'Connor
February 21, 2004 brought sad news about Fr. James O'Connor passing on. For
years and years his diligent faithfulness was a graceful example of Christian
loving kindness. Fr. O'Connor earnestly served the pro-life community
with his prayers, his presence, his service, and his sacrifices. He was a
trustee and chaplain of New Hampshire Right to Life, often writing essays for
the NHRTL News and leading prayerful witnesses on behalf of babies in jeopardy
and the women seeking abortions. His prayers frequently sought the conversion
of those involved in the abortion industry, and always offered a sense of
purpose and hope for those defending the right to life. Fr. O'Connor made many
trips to the annual March for Life in Washington, as well as helping at the
annual pro-life Marches in Concord. He genuinely relished riding his bicycle,
even in the cold and wet. Dear Fr. O'Connor will be sorely missed.
