Cornerstone advocates for New Hampshire's Christian communities in Concord and the courts. https://linkin.bio/nh-cornerstone
Long-time member Judy Walcott shares what happened when she voiced concerns about the women’s locker room at her local NH Planet Fitness. A reminder that every member deserves to feel safe and respected.
Judy did what many members would do—she reported feeling uneasy with a man un******ng in her private space supposedly guaranteed with membership.
Now her decade-long membership has ended and she’s speaking out. Her experience is opening up a bigger conversation about comfort and policy.
Please share her story!

New Hampshire celebrated the installation of our state’s first Safe Haven Baby Box in Manchester today!
Cornerstone has been working toward this moment since 2023, when Ian Huyett, Cornerstone’s Head of Public Policy and Litigation, laid out the need for stronger Safe Haven protections — including a Baby Box option — in NH Journal.
NH’s Safe Haven law, RSA 132-A, allows mothers to surrender newborns at churches, hospitals, and police or fire stations — no questions asked. This Baby Box now provides a safe, anonymous option for a mother in crisis to surrender her child to the community.
Special thanks to Fr. Jason Jalbert, Rector of St. Joseph Cathedral and Chaplain to the Manchester Fire Department for encouraging this location, Pennacook Pregnancy Center who financially sponsored this life-saving option, and to Fire Chief Ryan Cashin, Police Chief Peter Marr, Mayor Jay Ruais, Monica Kelsey and Pam Stetzel from Safe Haven Baby Boxes, and Manchester Fire Department Risk Reduction Coordinator Cynthia Bautista for making today’s fantastic event possible.
Multiple Pregnancy Resource Centers testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday in support of HB 1416. This bill by Rep. Farrington was designed to protect PRCs from the state requiring them to act against their mission.
PRCs support mothers in choosing life and would not want to be forced to perform abortions or even hand out material suggesting the procedure. They deserve the rights to free speech, integrity, and conscience.
Unfortunately, New England and NH specifically has seen a surge in anti-PRC rhetoric, claiming that they’re “fake” medical clinics when they are either purely non medical in nature or licensed and professional. Kellie, the executive director of a PRC in Concord who testified in this video, told of the many times her building was vandalized with spray painted attacks.
Pro-choice elected officials such as Senator Altschiller deny these attacks while simultaneously showing their true attitude towards pro-life charities.
