To the editor:
I support Joseph J. Murray's letter in support of George W. Bush's stance against partial birth abortion. I am currently a single mother residing in Illinois, hoping to relocate to New Hampshire in the future. It encourages me that there are people of integrity dwelling in the White Mountain area. While no place is utopia, New Hampshire has a history of forging the path "so to speak" for other states to follow.
