Moriarty, NM- New Mexico has the reputation of being the “Abortion Capital of the Southwest” and the “Late Term Abortion Capital of the Country.” Even pro-abortion advocates proudly call New Mexico the least restrictive, most woman and abortion friendly state in the country.

NM Rally for Life organizers issued the following statement,

“We are planning a NM Rally for Life on May 12th – the day before Mother’s day – between 2 & 5 pm MST at the Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty. Entry is free. We will have speakers telling their stories: a woman telling about her post-abortion experience, a couple that fosters kids, adoptive parents and an adoption agency, someone talking about Down Syndrome, and other stories. We’re planning activities for kids, a cake walk & a silent auction where the money donated by our participants will go to pro-life providers, and an art contest ($500.00 will be donated to a pro-life nonprofit in the winner’s name).

There will be informational booths, including Abortion Free New Mexico, CareNet, NM Alliance for Life, Know Now Mobile Medical Unit, adoption agencies, and other entities that provide help for women with unplanned pregnancies.

The HUB of NM will be broadcasting on-site, live.”

• Abortion Free New Mexico leaders will be speaking at the rally. Please come out, meet our family and stand for life with us here in New Mexico.

Albuquerque, NM- On April 28, a pro-life rally will be held at the Planned Parenthood facility at 701 San Mateo Blvd. NE in Albuquerque, starting at 10:00 am. This rally is one of more than 100 taking place outside Planned Parenthood centers across the United States, marking the third annual National Day of Prayer and Protest Against Planned Parenthood.

This nationwide day of prayer and protest is being coordinated by #ProtestPP, a coalition of more than 75 national, state and local pro-life organizations, in response to Planned Parenthood’s aggressive new agenda. In February, Planned Parenthood executive vice president Dawn Laguens declared that the organization is “going on the offense,” pursuing abortion expansion plans in “all 50 states.” This month, Planned Parenthood announced their participation in the “Win Justice” project, devoting $30 million to advancing their agenda in the November elections.

“Planned Parenthood is on the warpath,” said Tara Shaver of Abortion Free new Mexico, “but too few Albuquerque residents know the truth about this controversial organization. Planned Parenthood claims American women rely on them for healthcare, but in reality, four out of five women will never set foot in one of their centers. Planned Parenthood provides less than 1% of annual pap tests and zero mammograms, but they’ve cornered 35% of the U.S. abortion market. They’ve also been caught shielding child predators, defrauding Medicaid, and harvesting fetal tissue for profit.”

The protests to be held April 28 will also call on federal authorities to stop Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding. The effort to fully defund the organization of all federal tax dollars—about $430 million annually—has stalled in Congress. But an effort is now underway to revise Title X family planning rules to block Planned Parenthood as a recipient, and deprive them of some $60-80 million annually.

Shaver emphasizes that every dollar taken from Planned Parenthood would be redirected to healthcare providers that are not involved in abortion. “The effort to defund Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with taking healthcare away from poor women and families. It’s about taking tax dollars away from the nation’s largest abortion chain,” she explained.

#ProtestPP is a coalition of more than 75 local, state and national pro-life groups, headed by three national pro-life activist organizations: Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Created Equal, and the Pro-Life Action League.

Dear Pro-Life Friend,

“Today, we’re going on the offense.”

That’s what Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens told the media just a few weeks ago. She went on to declare, “We’re pushing for efforts in all 50 states.”

All 50 states.

That’s why all of us need to join together on Saturday, April 28 for #ProtestPP — the 3rd Annual National Day of Prayer and Protest Against Planned Parenthood.

Too many of our friends and neighbors are in the dark about Planned Parenthood — including many of our fellow pro-lifers! We need to get out there and tell the truth about the nation’s largest abortion chain.
