As the New Hampshire legislature considers a bill that would ban abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy<\/a>, Planned Parenthood and its allies are allegedly pressuring doctors to fight against it.<\/p>\n

An anonymous whistleblower told the Daily Wire<\/a> that the New Hampshire Medical Society (NHMS) sent an e-mail to all members, urging them to sign a letter written by Planned Parenthood opposing the bill. After signing, the letter would then be sent to the governor, encouraging him to veto the pro-life bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis language is a clear interference between the doctor-patient relationship and goes on to criminalize providers for performing this procedure,\u201d the NHMS allegedly said. \u201cPlanned Parenthood NH has drafted a letter they plan to send to the Governor and are hoping to have physicians signed on to show opposition to this section of the budget.”<\/p>\n

The e-mail included a link to sign the letter. It also told members to contact Kayla Montgomery, Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund\u2019s Senior Director of Public Affairs, or Michael Padmore, the NHMS\u2019s director of advocacy if they had questions.<\/p>\n
