CONCORD — A dozen “Handmaids” protested at the New Hampshire State House on Wednesday to join with other people opposed to the addition of anti-abortion language in the proposed biennial budget.

A coalition of opponents to the language, which would make late-stage abortion illegal even in the case of rape, is now in the House- and Senate-approved budget, and the group called on Gov. Chris Sununu to veto the budget and protect a woman’s right to choose.
