A\u00a0doctor who performs an abortion after that point would be guilty of a felony, carrying a prison sentence of up to seven years and a fine of $10,000 or more, according to the provision, which prompted an uproar from Democrats and abortion advocates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis\u00a0language is a clear interference between the doctor-patient relationship and goes on to criminalize providers for performing this\u00a0procedure,\u201d the NHMS said in a June 9 email to members, which was provided to The Daily Wire by a whistleblower who requested that they remain anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlanned Parenthood NH has drafted a letter they plan to send to the Governor and are hoping to have physicians signed on to show\u00a0opposition to this section of the budget,\u201d continued the email, which included a link to sign the letter online. \u201cYou can review the letter and sign on here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A note at the top of the form to sign Planned Parenthood\u2019s letter says that physicians who have questions about it may contact either Kayla Montgomery,\u00a0Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund\u2019s Senior Director of Public Affairs, or Michael Padmore, the NHMS\u2019s\u00a0director of advocacy, who sent the email to physicians encouraging them to sign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, as medical professionals in the state of New Hampshire, strongly oppose the medically unjustified regulation of health care as proposed in the current state budget,\u201d reads Planned Parenthood\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/15HSfR_JO6Nyn9oIcyXr30QlB2rsQPRiTlLzHdM17bjI\/viewform?ts=60bfbedc&#038;edit_requested=true\">letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201carbitrary ban on abortion later in pregnancy\u201d in the state budget \u201cinterferes with the patient-provider relationship in complex circumstances,\u201d the letter complains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis language has no health or safety benefit to patients. It overrides a clinician\u2019s judgment with a government mandate, compromises evidence-based, patient-centered care, and represents ill-advised interference in the practice of medicine,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cWe urge Governor Sununu to trust New Hampshire\u2019s medical experts by vetoing the state budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter adds that the signing physicians are \u201cespecially alarmed\u201d that the ban\u00a0criminalizes late-term abortion and threatens abortionists with prison time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Hampshire already struggles to retain medical professionals, and we are deeply concerned that these criminal penalties will undermine our state\u2019s efforts to recruit and retain clinicians,\u201d the letter says. \u201cFurthermore, these criminal penalties will erode trust between medical experts and the public. Patients, in consultation with clinicians, must have the ability to make these personal medical decisions without government interference. Replacing clinical judgement with government mandates irreparably compromises patient autonomy and consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New Hampshire Medical Society did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the letter or their relationship with Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Governor Chris Sununu, a Republican, said he would not veto the state budget over the provision prohibiting\u00a0abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a pro-choice governor, but like most citizens of the state of New Hampshire, I do not think that we should be doing late-term or at-the-very-last-minute-type abortions,\u201d Sununu <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtalkradio.com\/?page_id=78&#038;mc_cid=ea280544c1&#038;mc_eid=4b1b2b0a47\">said<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s all this really touches upon. And I think most people agree that that\u2019s not appropriate. So, no, I wouldn\u2019t necessarily veto a budget over that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
