JUL 28 #WomenBetrayed National Rallies – NM Locations
On July 14th, the Center for Medical Progress released an undercover video showing Planned Parenthood’s top abortionist casually discussing the dismembering, harvesting, and selling of baby body parts. It was sickening. It was horrifying. In it, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, candidly discusses crushing preborn babies to harvest and sell their body parts. The abortion giant claims they care about women but they don’t – just look at their actions. Just Planned Parenthood alone gets over $500 million a year in our taxpayer money and makes more than $100 million in profit, all while having abortion quotas. The organization has been caught…

Breaking: NM Lt. Governor Denounces #PPSellsBabyParts
By Tara Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Today The Center for Medical Progress released another video that shatters the myth that Planned Parenthood is not in the business of selling aborted baby parts for profit.

New Mexico Lt. Gov John Sanchez NM is home to Southwestern Women’s Options late term abortion facility whose own medical consent form states that parts and tissue obtained during abortion procedures will be used in medical research.

New Development Concerning NM Law on Selling Body Parts
By Tara Shaver Albuquerque, NM- As news of Planned Parenthood’s illegal and inhumane practice of selling aborted baby organs, tissue and extremities has gone viral, here in the late term abortion capital of the nation we are calling for an investigation to make sure this isn’t happening here. It is a federal crime to sell body parts, even those taken from an aborted baby. This ground breaking research about Planned Parenthood’s involvement in illegally selling baby body parts has given the pro-life community in New Mexico new concerns about what is likely happening inside the largest late term abortion clinic outside of communist China, Southwestern Women’s Options. Members of Protest…

Are NM Abortion Clinics Harvesting Body Parts? Join Us In Demanding An Investigation
By Tara Shaver, Albuquerque, NM- Planned Parenthood has been caught red handed yet again breaking the law, this time, by selling body parts of their victims, innocent pre-born children. On July 14, 2015 The Center for Medical Progress released a groundbreaking undercover video exposing the illegal trafficking of human body parts. This investigation has further solidified the concern that Americans currently have with the killing business of the nations largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood received $540.6 million in government grants in 2013, from hard working Americans’ tax dollars. Apparently half a BILLION dollars annually from tax-payers isn’t enough so they have resorted to harvesting every last penny from…

What Would You Do If You Only Had 24 Hours to Save a Life?
What would you do if you only had 24 hours to save a life? This month (in May), we faced that challenge head on when we were contacted by the pro-life community in Lubbock, Texas alerting us about a couple who was traveling to Albuquerque to kill their baby who had been diagnosed with down syndrome. We did all that we could in 24 hours with the information that we had received in addition to mobilizing a prayer and protest presence out at the late-term “killing center.” Thankfully, on the afternoon of the woman’s appointment we received great news from someone close to the family that this baby girl was…

City, State and Federal Efforts to Ban Late Term Abortion
Dear Friends and Partners in the battle for LIFE, Since moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2010, our efforts have shined the light on the barbaric reality of late-term abortion and the role New Mexico plays, having the largest late-term abortion “Killing Center” in the world outside of communist China!

New Mexico Senators Play Politics With Pre-Born Babies Lives
By Bud Shaver The Democratically controlled Senate Public Affairs Committee proved to be more biased than “democratic” by voting on party lines to kill ALL THREE pro-life bills introduced this legislative session. The first pro-life bill killed was SB 437 Physician Admitting Privileges for Abortions. This bill would have prevented abortion providers in New Mexico from ditching their patients on local Emergency Rooms where other physicians are left in the dark about the woman’s condition after an abortion related injury. (*UPDATE: The NM Senate killed a FOURTH Pro-Life Bill, WOMAN’S INFORMED DECISION ACT SB 652!) During the charade chaired by Sen. Pino, he cut off the testimony of expert witness Tara Shaver,…

NM Forced Vaccination Bill TABLED
By, Bud Shaver Santa Fe- A bill that would remove religious exemptions for vaccinations was tabled in a House committee on Saturday morning. Armstrong’s bill HB 522, “REMOVE RELIGION IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTION would have forced religious people to use unethical vaccines which have been directly linked to serious health risks and are derived from aborted children.

Armstrong began her testimony by telling the committee that her bill may have some portions that violate the constitution. According to New Mexico Political Report, “The committee room was packed full audience members, with the majority in opposition of…

NM BILL Would FORCE People of Conscience To Take Vaccines With Aborted Fetal Cells
By Tara Shaver Albuquerque, NM- With all of the “anti-vaccine” fear propaganda buzzing incessantly, a New Mexico Representative is attempting to legislate medical tyranny by introducing a forced vaccination mandate bill. Debbie Armstrong (D) from Albuquerque is the sponsor of HB 522, “REMOVE RELIGION IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTION“ which removes the religious exemption from those who choose not vaccinate their children. (By the way, here is a great article to provide perspective on the current measles discussion.) We know that the topic of vaccination can be a bit dodgy, especially for those who have children. However, what most people are completely unaware of is that some vaccines actually contain aborted human fetal…

SB 437 had been “rolled over” from a previous date due to an appendicitis attack suffered by Senator Gay Kernan…
