It has been a snowy winter, even by New Hampshire standards. At the 40 Days for Life vigil in Manchester, the vigil participants have been walking along a narrow path between two piles of snow that are close to five feet high.

Jackie in Manchester says the volunteers did all the shoveling, but ?they must circle around in the street as the sidewalk is single-file only.?

Every Thursday is abortion day at Planned Parenthood, and Jackie says there are two priests and a deacon who bring people to pray every Thursday, all year long. ?The presence of clergy has been a powerful witness and a huge encouragement,? she said.
