MANCHESTER – Two leading pro-life advocates- last week urged their contacts to attend a hearing tonight in order to ensure that -- among other reasons -- Elliot Hospital remains strong.

In the mass e-mail, Barbara Hagan and Kathy Souza of New Hampshire Right to Life urge their contacts to show up to the third and final forum about the proposed affiliation between the Catholic Medical Center and Dartmouth-Hitchcock organizations.

The hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight at the New Hampshire Institute of Art auditorium, 148 Concord St., Manchester.

"If you care about the babies and the elderly -- If you truly believe that Manchester needs a Catholic Hospital -- If you want to ensure that CMC and Elliot Hospital remain strong in Manchester -- If you believe in competition! You must come to this event!" Hagan and Souza wrote.

Elliot Hospital is the secular, crosstown rival to Catholic Medical Center that has drawn the ire of pro-life forces in the past. But it has strongly opposed the proposed affiliation, putting the hospital alongside pro-life and pro-choice organizations.

Hagan last week said she sent out the e-mail to more than just members of New Hampshire Right to Life organization. She sent it to Christian churches, New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union members and others involved in the Save CMC movement. Many of them want two hospitals in Manchester, she said.

"I had two babies at Elliot," Hagan said. "I as an individual want to see competition in Manchester. Manchester is big enough for two hospitals, and I want my Catholic hospital on the West Side of Manchester."

Eliot is not the only hospital there - CMC (Catholic Medical Center) is a perfectly fine hospital - any they're also within St. Joseph's and Southern NH Medical Center. Medical center lacking we are not.

Emphasis mine on their stretch or the "two leading" prolife advocates and their "masa-mailing".

1. I'm surprised these anti-choice Commies didn't encourage their "contacts"

to murder a few people while they were there at the meeting. Isn't that the way they prefer? Their way of thinking goes something like this, "If you do something I don't believe in, I have every right to murder you for doing it."
