Year: 2019

Dear Pro- Life Friends and Ministry Partners,

It is hard to believe that 2019 has come and gone. It has been such a busy and productive year for our family and our ministry, the time has simply flown by. Your partnership with us in this life saving ministry has kept us encouraged and has made it possible for us to serve full time as missionaries in New Mexico, the late term abortion capital. When the lives of precious babies are on the line we must never sit on the sidelines, too much is at stake.

Thank you for believing in us, our mission to make New Mexico Abortion Free and for blessing us with your time, talents and your treasure. May we continue to sow into a culture of life in 2020 as we anticipate a pivotal moment in our country.

May God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you!

Being a full time pro-life missionary family serving in New Mexico since 2010 has been a blessing in so many ways. We have laid a firm foundation by identifying and exposing the key players in the New Mexico abortion cartel, held leaders accountable on both sides of the aisle and have put Albuquerque on the map as the late term abortion capital- a reputation that we’re working so hard to get rid of.

Abortion is their dirty little secret that must be exposed.

By Bud Shaver

Albuquerque, NM- When Abortion Free New Mexico launched Faith to Action Friday seven months ago, we committed just one hour a week to prayer and protest at the University of New Mexico’s free standing abortion killing center. The UNM Center for Reproductive Health is using our tax dollars (as a publicly funded institution) to promote their radical abortion agenda that is killing babies up to 24 weeks gestation! 

Jesus to his disciples in his darkest hour, “Couldn’t you keep watch with me for one hour?” Matthew 26:40

While an hour of prayer seems so minimal of a commitment, it meant so much to Jesus in his darkest hour and it means everything to the babies scheduled for death at UNM.

• BABY SAVED FROM DEATH, WHY WE MUST PUT OUR FAITH TO ACTION

Starting on December 6th we will be joining together for Faith to Action Friday during the lunch hour from 12-1PM

Dear Friends,

We hope your family enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving. We were happy to stay home, cook together, eat and just relax. In November we were blessed with so many opportunities to stand for LIFE across New Mexico. Our team took another trip to Santa Teresa in southern New Mexico, we hosted an Appreciation Luncheon to thank our supporters, we visited various churches to register voters for the 2020 election and to get solid candidates on the ballot, our family stood against child abuse and we continued to protest the evil of abortion in our community. 

We couldn’t do any of this without your prayers, encouragement and support. Thank you for keeping us in this battle for the lives of innocent babies and for believing in what we are working toward, an Abortion Free New Mexico. We are finishing 2019 strong and anticipate amazing things in the new year. May God bless you, your family and we pray that you are equally encouraged by what we have to share with you this month.

Round 2: Protest Abortionist Franz Theard Campaign

Our second trip to the borderland was eventful and fruitful. Our team, which included the Martin family and our friend Joe, lit up the darkness and were a strong voice for the babies killed in Santa Teresa, NM and El Paso, TX by abortionist Franz Theard. 

Not only did we spend time outside his separate OBGYN office to inform his prenatal patients that he kills babies, we also had a presence outside of his surgical abortion center in El Paso. While local interns and sidewalk counselors ministered to the women as they entered the facility, we stood on the opposite side of the building to speak to the women as they were inside the facility. 

We know that the women could hear us inside and our message was, that it’s never too late to change their minds, that even though they are inside the devils domain, they can be strong, get up and walk out of the clinic and that we were there to help them!

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9

One News Now Coverage of our Protest efforts in the borderland...

“Abortion Free New Mexico spokesperson Tara Shaver says the goal of the protest is to raise public awareness that Theard is not just a popular El Paso OB/GYN but is also an abortionist. ‘He’s doing abortions on minors in New Mexico who are evading Texas laws,’ Shaver advises. 
Texas is bordered on the north and east by states that, like Texas, place strict limits on abortions, but Shaver says the abortionist has found a way around it: an abortion clinic in New Mexico.”

• Full report by One News Now: New Mexico activists are raising awareness of an abortionist

Protest Planned Parenthood

When we received leaked information about a political fundraiser that was being held by Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountain Region, we organized a protest presence of  about 30 people to stand outside. Planned Parenthood is not just killing babies under the guise of a non-profit offering “health care” they are also a political machine that uses the MILLIONS of tax dollars it receives annually to funnel back into political campaigns to ensure that their killing agenda goes unimpeded.

Bud Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

“Planned Parenthood and their minions are mobilized and unified in their child killing agenda and we must be prepared to out work, out give, and ultimately vote out the radical leftist democrats destroying our values, our country and the great state of New Mexico! New Mexicans want true leaders that will represent our values and who will support our President in Washington D.C.” 

Our family stood in solidarity with New Mexicans Against Child Abuse at a local protest. A 10 year old girl was killed and dismembered in 2016 and one of the suspects in her case was just released. We wanted to remind the community that dismembering children is a crime in and out of the womb.

One News Now Coverage…

“Her death and dismemberment has really just caused such an outrage,” reports Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico, an organization that recently participated in a demonstration at the Albuquerque courthouse. “People are even more outraged that this judge is thinking about letting one of the people who is involved in this crime go free. Anyone with common sense is not going to want criminals back on the street once they’ve been arrested,” Shaver asserts. “But unfortunately when you’re dealing with a state like New Mexico, where there’s so much corruption, there is no rule of law.”

• Report by the Albuquerque Journal: Protesters seek ‘justice for Victoria’

Vote Your Values!

Our family visited several churches this month to register voters and we spent election election day 2019 out at the polls helping to Michelle Garcia Holmes on the 2020 ballot.

Michelle Garcia Holmes is a 20 year veteran of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) 10 years of which was spent as a Detective with APD. In addition, Michelle served 8 years as the Chief of Staff for the New Mexico Attorney General’s office, for Attorney General, Gary King. Where she worked on the creation of the first Government Corruption Division, legislation against child predators and human traffickers, as well as overseeing agency grants, budget review, hiring, and training.

There was great enthusiasm exhibited by the Christian community to support candidates that will represent our pro-life, pro-family and pro-faith values and who will support our President in Washington D.C. In fact, since the democratic party has abandoned their values, several people updated their voter registration and changed their party affiliation!

Nothing More Americana!

I can’t think of a more “Americana” way to spend Black Friday than registering voters and hosting a signature drive with U.S. Congressional candidate (CD1) Michelle Garcia Holmes (R) at a gun store in New Mexico… which is still the untamed Wild, Wild West!

Thank You!

We were blessed to host an appreciation luncheon for our friends to say “Thank You” for being such an important part of our ministry. 

We complied a 2019 Year in Review Slideshow highlighting all that the Lord has accomplished in New Mexico. Thank you for your continued prayer and support!

Faith to Action Friday

Please pray with us for New Mexico 

• For: Abortionist Franz Theard’s conversion and for him to abandon his abortion businesses. (1 in NM and 1 in TX)  
• For: The Pro-Life candidates that are collecting signatures and getting ready to launch their campaigns for the 2020 election.  
• For: Christians to engage the culture war and for more churches to welcome us in to educate and register voters. 
• For: Effective collaboration between like minded groups in New Mexico to end abortion, educate and effect future elections. 
• Please pray for wisdom for us in our marriage, as parents and for our ministry to be fruitful.

By Tara Shaver

Albuquerque, New Mexico- New Mexicans are rightfully outraged over the murder and dismembering of Victoria Martens as the New Mexico courts are set to release, Fabian Gonzales, who is implicated in these horrific crimes. 

According to KRQE,

Judge Charles Brown ruled that Gonzales, the man charged with helping dismember 10-year-old Victoria Martens, should be released.

Gonzales has been charged with child abuse and tampering with evidence. The way he tampered with evidence was by dismembering 10 year old Victoria Martens body after her death.

Hundreds of outraged community members protested, and stood against child abuse in New Mexico this Sunday, and Abortion Free New Mexico joined them. Abortion Free New Mexico stands in solidarity with the event organizer, New Mexicans Against Child Abuse and against ALL forms of child abuse. 

Bud Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico (pictured above) issued the following statement,

“Killing a child whether born or pre-born is the ultimate form of child abuse and, unfortunately, the dismemberment of children takes place each day inside of Albuquerque’s abortion facilities. Dismembering children is a crime. When judges and our courts ignore the violence against children inside of the womb, this is the system we get. We need our courts to affirm pro-family, pro-life, pro-justice values in New Mexico. Planned Parenthood and their minions are mobilized and unified in their child killing agenda and we must be prepared to out work, out give, and ultimately vote out the radical leftist democrats destroying our values, our country and the great state of New Mexico!.” New Mexicans want true leaders that will affirm our values and will defend the lives of all children born and pre-born. We are working towards an Abortion Free New Mexico where EVERY child is valued and protected.”

Not surprisingly, Judge Charles Brown is listed as a registered democrat.

The Democratic Party of New Mexico is Radically Pro-Abortion 

In fact, according to the Democratic Party of New Mexico Platform, one of their core tenets vows,

• We Will: “Support funding for Planned Parenthood who provides full and safe access to the entire spectrum of health options including safe and legal abortion”
• Read their party platform

“In return for the tax funding secured to them by the Democrat Party of New Mexico, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Action Fund invests hundreds of thousands of dollars in New Mexico Democrats’ political campaigns,” stated Bud Shaver, Abortion Free New Mexico

Planned Parenthood is not just dismembering and killing children through abortion under the guise of a non-profit offering “reproductive health care” they are also a political machine that uses the MILLIONS of tax dollars it receives annually to funnel back into political campaigns to ensure that their killing agenda goes unimpeded.

Dear Friends,

We truly have so much to be thankful for as we work toward an Abortion Free state. We have been busier than usual visiting churches, educating the masses and holding peaceful protests throughout Albuquerque. The fact that we are able to do all that we do while also raising and homeschooling four children is only by God’s grace and provision. Your prayers, encouragement and support also make our ministry possible. 

Thank you for believing in what the Lord has called us to- to be a light in the darkness and to make a way for life using strategies that no one else will to end abortion once and for all in New Mexico. As we trust in God and put our faith into action, together we are building an Abortion Free New Mexico where every child is valued and protected.

Prayers Answered for Strong Christian Leadership 

We are excited to share that Michelle Garcia Holmes has publicly announced her candidacy for United States Congress against the radical pro-abortion progressive democrat, Deb Haaland. We supported Michelle 100% when she ran for Mayor of Albuquerque in 2016 and then when she ran  for Lt. Governor with Steve Pearce in 2018.

Abortion Free New Mexico is committed to help Michelle Garcia Holmes get to Washington D.C. to represent the great state of New Mexico!

#NewMexicoTruth Public Awareness Campaign

This month Abortion Free New Mexico launched the #NewMexicoTruth campaign in conjunction with the kick off of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 2019.

In 2018 over 800,000 people came to Albuquerque for this world renowned annual festival and this year over 1 million tourists were expected. While Albuquerque is home to the International Balloon Fiesta, it is also home to the nation’s largest late term abortion killing center, Southwestern Women’s Options and is considered the late term abortion capital of the world. 

From Oct. 5th- 13th, Abortion Free New Mexico lead several high pro-file public awareness efforts to educate the masses. 

“While people are coming from all across the world for our green and red chile and for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, it is unfortunate that due to the radical pro-abortion political climate, New Mexico is also drawing women from all across the world for late term abortion tourism. This is the hard New Mexico Truth that is disparaging our states’ reputation and it can’t be ignored any longer. Late Term Abortion will not be New Mexico’s dirty little secret anymore and we are determined to shine the light on this grave injustice until the killing stops,” stated Tara Shaver, Spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico. ​ 

Our friend Kimberly was recently featured in a report by KOB. In addition to being known as the Late Term Abortion Capital of the World, according to a recent investigation- 

• Study: NM has highest number of missing, murdered indigenous women

“Kimberly Wahpepah knows this crisis first-hand. She’s a Native American woman, and a survivor of sex trafficking on and off the reservation. ‘I was trying to get myself out of that position, but I just couldn’t,’ she said. Wahpepah, who is now an advocate for other victims, said she was forced into the sex trade after high school by an ex.”

In addition to being an advocate for sex trafficking victims, Kimberly is also a strong advocate for the unborn abortion victims and their mothers!  We have been helping Kim (who’s pregnant), her husband and their daughter Naomi as they are currently homeless.

• Pray for them as they seek work and housing.

BABY SAVED FROM DEATH, WHY WE MUST PUT OUR FAITH TO ACTION  

During the past five months, it has primarily been the faith community who has joined us each week for Faith to Action Fridays. It’s been amazing to witness how a sidewalk and alley surrounding an abortion clinic have been transformed from a dark hopeless walk of death, to a beacon of light and hope simply because the faith community has stepped out into the public square and are boldly bringing the light of Jesus to the most lost and desperate in our community.  

• Culminating this month with a baby being saved!   

Simply being present has the potential to save lives as the Holy Spirit brings conviction to the mom’s seeking abortions. We’ve witnessed it time and time again. However, utilizing your voice and speaking to the mothers and fathers going into an abortion clinic also brings conviction, changes minds and saves lives. Our friend Joe (who is at the UNM abortion center daily) spoke for 17 minutes, one Friday, with a young man who had brought his girlfriend for an abortion and through Joe’s encouragement went back inside and got his girlfriend and they left for a nearby pregnancy center.

• Watch Joe talk with the father here

Protesting Saves Lives

This month, Abortion Free New Mexico joined 40 Days for Life for prayer and protest at Planned Parenthood by the invitation of our friends at Holy Child Parish of Tijeras. Tijeras is in Bernalillo county (CD1) so we also got signatures for Michelle Garcia Holmes to get her on the Republican 2020 ballot for US Congress to take on the radical pro-abortion progressive incumbent Deb Haaland (D).

“A young woman, alone in her car, quickly pulled into the Planned Parenthood parking lot passing several prayerful pro-life protesters holding various pro-life signs. She slowly got out of her car and then stopped, turned around, got back in her car and left. Before pulling out of the parking lot she rolled down her window and thanked the pro-life protesters for being there and told them that because of our presence, she changed her mind about getting an abortion and said that she is going to keep her baby!

Praise God! Simply being present at Planned Parenthood, protesting their child killing business, has the ability to change minds and save lives.”

Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) 

This month at Olive Tree Messianic Community, Abortion Free New Mexico joined the celebration, visited with friends, registered voters and had a petition to get Michelle Garcia Holmes on the 2020 ballot to represent New Mexican values in the US Congress (CD1).  As Sukkot 2019 drew to an end in Albuquerque, a new day is awakening in New Mexico to establish justice for everyone in our state born and pre-born!

Let’s stand together for life and strategically step out in faith to transform our community.

By Bud Shaver

Albuquerque, NM- When Abortion Free New Mexico launched Faith to Action Friday five months ago, we committed just one hour a week to prayer and protest at the University of New Mexico’s free standing abortion killing center. The UNM Center for Reproductive Health is using our tax dollars (as a publicly funded institution) to promote their radical abortion agenda that is killing babies up to 24 weeks gestation! 

Jesus to his disciples in his darkest hour, “Couldn’t you keep watch with me for one hour?” Matthew 26:40

While an hour of prayer seems so minimal of a commitment, it meant so much to Jesus in his darkest hour and it means everything to the babies scheduled for death at UNM.

Over the past five months we realized that we could better reach abortion minded women if we could have access to the alley behind the abortion killing center so we did our research and learned that it was in fact a public right of way. So we called the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and worked with them to establish our position and our right to be back there unimpeded by UNM Police and security. By doing so, we built bridges with APD, gained an important ally and claimed more territory to peacefully engage in the battle for LIFE.

Faith to Action Friday really has taken on that identity as it has primarily been the faith community who has joined us each week. In fact, most of those stepping out in faith each Friday have been churches represented by their Pastors, ministry leaders, the Knights of Columbus and a Priest! During the past five months, it has been amazing to witness how a sidewalk and alley surrounding an abortion clinic have been transformed from a dark hopeless walk of death, to a beacon of light and hope simply because the faith community has stepped out into the public square and are boldly bringing the light of Jesus to the most lost and desperate in our community…

Culminating this past Friday with a baby being saved! 

Simply being present has the potential to save lives as the Holy Spirit brings conviction to the mom’s seeking abortions. We’ve witnessed it time and time again. However, utilizing your voice and speaking to the mothers and fathers going into an abortion clinic also brings conviction, changes minds and saves lives. Our friend Joe (who is at the UNM abortion center daily) spoke for 17 minutes, this past Friday, with a young man who had brought his girlfriend for an abortion and through Joe’s encouragement went back inside and got his girlfriend and they left for a nearby pregnancy center.

• Click here to watch Joe encourage a father to go back inside UNMCRH to rescue his child and he does!

The need to put our faith into action and to combine our prayers with protest could not be more important. James (the brother of Jesus) emphatically stated,

“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” 

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest, director of Life Ministries US recently stated in an interview with One America News in Washington D.C.,

“We should not be afraid of the word protest because surely everything I do in defense of the unborn I do in protest of their mass murder! And so, I was encouraging the pro-life movement to embrace the word protest, to not be afraid of the word protest, surely Martin Luther King [Jr.] wasn’t afraid of the word protest. He called what he did peaceful prayerful protest.”

• Click here to watch Fr. Stephen Imbarrato’s interview on OAN in Washington D.C.

By combining our prayers with protest and putting our Faith to Action, we are also utilizing our first amendment rights as American citizens at a crucial time in our history as a free nation. If we don’t utilize our rights now for the most defenseless among us, then we are at risk of losing them in the near future when no one will be left to speak up for us!

Join us: Faith to Action Friday’s in October

It only takes an hour to make a lasting difference and have an impact for LIFE. Now more than ever, we need to pray collectively, publicly, and strategically.  Our presence has the ability to reform The University of New Mexico – UNM  so that they get out of the abortion business!  

Abortion is their dirty little secret that must be exposed.

Let’s stand together for life and strategically step out in faith to transform our community.

• Join us  for “Faith to Action Friday” on October 18th and 25th from 9-10AM
• The UNMCRH free standing abortion clinic is located at 2301 Yale Blvd in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
• Parking is available on Renard (off Yale)
• ​Everyone is welcome to join us for this peaceful presence.​

UNM is at the heart of the abortion cartel in New Mexico, as a publicly funded institution UNM consistently promotes a culture of death and is actively training the next generation of abortionists…

Albuquerque, NM- Abortion Free New Mexico announces the launch of the #NewMexicoTruth campaign as the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 2019 kicks off. In 2018 over 800,000 people came to Albuquerque for this world renowned annual festival and this year over 1 million tourists are expected.

While Albuquerque is home to the International Balloon Fiesta, it is also home to the nation’s largest late term abortion killing center, Southwestern Women’s Options and is considered the late term abortion capital the world. Late term abortions occur so regularly at Southwestern Women’s Options that late term abortionist Susan Robinson, who has since retired from Southwestern Women’s Options emphatically stated in an interview in 2014:

[Women] come from all over the United States and Canada and all over the world too; I mean you have patients who come to us from Europe, we have patients from Australia, we have patients from Afghanistan[.]

Beginning bright and early Saturday morning, October 5th and continuing through Sunday, October 13th, Abortion Free New Mexico will lead several high pro-file public awareness efforts to educate the masses.

“While people are coming from all across the world for our green or red chile and for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, it is unfortunate that due to the radical pro-abortion political climate, New Mexico is also drawing women from all across the world for late term abortion tourism. This is the hard New Mexico Truth that is disparaging our states’ reputation and it can’t be ignored any longer. Late Term Abortion will not be New Mexico’s dirty little secret anymore and we are determined to shine the light on this grave injustice until the killing stops,” stated Tara Shaver, Spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico.

RELATED: Woman 33 Weeks Pregnant Traveled to New Mexico to Have Have Abortion

By Bud Shaver

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your faithful prayers for us and our ministry this month. We planted so many seeds for life and anticipate great things to come as a result of our efforts and your generosity. You are helping us to build an Abortion Free New Mexico. 

One highlight from this month is that we released two undercover projects revealing that abortionist Franz Theard, doing abortions at Hilltop Reproductive Clinic in Santa Teresa, NM, and the four abortionists at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) located in Albuquerque, NM are potentially violating FDA protocols for prescribing Mifepristone aka the abortion pill (RU486). According to our investigation, neither Hilltop Reproductive Clinic nor Southwestern Women’s Options formally diagnose ectopic pregnancies. Their inability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies is in clear violation of FDA protocols, places women’s lives at risk and is a clear violation of the REMS requirements. As outlined in the FDA approved REMS document, prescribers of the abortion drug, Mifeprex must have the “ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies.”  We then filed complaints against abortionist Franz Theard and the four abortionists at SWO (Curtis Boyd, Shelley Sella, Carmen Landau and Shannon Carr) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal and state agencies regarding this and other deviations from FDA protocols. Please pray that these complaints bring action against these abortionists.

UNIFIED COLLABORATION IN THE BORDERLAND

This month we followed up our expose and FDA complaints by heading down to Southern New Mexico and into El Paso, Texas from September 16-17 we had two full days of protesting across two states! Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest and Southwest Coalition for Life join forces with us at Franz Theard’s OBGYN office located only a half a mile down the street from his abortion killing center. 

• Highlights: Expose Franz Theard Campaign

We also protested outside of two El Paso hospitals, The Los Palmas Medical Center and The Hospitals of Providence Memorial Campus, where abortionist Franz Theard has admitting privileges to deliver babies on the days he’s not killing them. Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico spoke to representatives of both hospitals to follow up with them since they refused to release a statement earlier this month. On both of their websites abortionist Franz Theard is listed as a “Physician affiliated” with their hospitals “in good standing”. While both hospitals confirmed that in fact Franz Theard does deliver babies at both hospitals. Theard is living a double life where he delivers babies at one location and kills babies at the other! We then teamed up for prayer and protest in Santa Teresa, NM at Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic located just across the Texas border in New Mexico. Fr. Stephen Imbarrato who is On The Road For Life lead Mass and prayers of minor exorcism on location! Effective collaboration, unity, fellowship and community are just some of the things that we experienced over the two days doing pro-life outreach in the borderland. 

In addition to being on the ground, we mailed postcards throughout both communities in El Paso, TX and Santa Teresa, NM surrounding his abortion killing centers, his OBGYN office and both hospitals.

The pro-life community of Southeastern New Mexico and El Paso were such a blessing as they welcomed us with open arms and fully recognized the need to work together in unison, complimenting each other in an effort to make their communities abortion free. We would also like to thank the Martin family from Rio Rancho who joined us for this trip to light up the darkness, our families combined totaled four adults and ten children, a truly powerful presence and witness for life.

After our visit, Southwest Coalition for Life Director, Mark Cavaliere, issued the following statement,

“We are extremely humbled and grateful to Abortion Free New Mexico for generously traveling from Albuquerque to invest two days of their time and expertise to help our local mission by drawing attention to El Paso abortionist Franz Theard’s FDA violations and double-life of delivering babies at his ObGyn office while killing them just a half mile down the road at his Hill Top abortion center. Their gracious collaboration and dedicated focus on accountability has helped to fill a void in El Paso which complements our specific ministry focus of crisis intervention through sidewalk advocacy and prayer, and Guiding Star El Paso’s focus on crisis management through ongoing client care. We sometimes forget that unity does not mean uniformity, but God gives us each unique callings and talents to suffer and rejoice together as one Body (1 Cor 12:18-27).”

Faith to Action Friday

Shining bright, defending our first amendment rights, building bridges with the Albuquerque Police Department and gaining territory… We actually called the Albuquerque police this month, to deal with UNM security outside of the UNM abortion center. We were able to resolve our position that we could access the public alley between properties and better position ourselves for sidewalk counseling to reach abortion minded women with love and resources! 

• After only two weeks of multiplying our advocacy from the busy street to the alley, according to a reliable source, the University of New Mexico is considering relocating the UNM Center for Reproductive Health!

Pray that instead of relocating, UNM will stop its radical abortion agenda and get out of the abortion business!

Now more than ever, we need to pray collectively, publicly, and strategically. Our presence has the ability to reform the University of New Mexico so that they get out of the abortion business! Abortion is their dirty little secret that’s being exposed. Join us and let your light shine bright for Christ and HIS babies!

National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children

Of the 60 million victims of abortion since Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973, only a tiny fraction have received a proper burial, at gravesites scattered throughout the country. On September 14, 2019 all of them were mourned during memorial services at those gravesites and dozens of other memorial markers set up in their honor.  In Albuquerque, NM our memorial service for the Aborted Children who are buried at Sandia Memory Garden put everything into perspective. Being at the place where aborted babies are buried at your feet is such a powerful reminder of why we work so hard to stop the killing in New Mexico.  

We were blessed to give our speakers a chance to share their hearts and pray the scriptures.  

Joining us this year was: 

• Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, director ofLife Ministries US 
• Pastor Gary Cowan of Calvary Chapel East   
• Michelle Garcia Holmes former Lieutenant Governor candidate   
• Michael Hendricks, Candidate for New Mexico House District 20 
• Karen Murchison of Connection Church  

Thank you to everyone who came out for this event!

Albuquerque, NM- Abortion Free New Mexico has filed a complaint against four Albuquerque abortionists who operate at the notorious late term abortion facility, Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal and state agencies regarding a violation of the Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) and prescriber agreement for the drug Mifeprex, also known as Mifepristone and the RU486 abortion pill. The abortionists include Curtis Boyd, Shelley Sella, Carmen Landau and Shannon Carr. 

• Read the full complaint here

SWO FDA Complaint by Bud Shaver on Scribd

Earlier this month Abortion Free New Mexico filed a joint complaint with colleague Leisha Armijo-Martin against Franz Theard for his inability to comply with FDA regulations for prescribing Mifeprex. Theard operates abortion facilities in New Mexico and Texas. 

• You can read the full report, complaint, and undercover call here which was also featured on LifeNews.com and One News Now.

In a second undercover investigation conducted this month, Abortion Free New Mexico called Southwestern Women’s Options to determine whether or not they are compliant with the prescriber agreement required by the FDA to prescribe Mifeprex (Mifepristone). 

• Watch the undercover video here

According to the receptionist, SWO does not formally diagnose ectopic pregnancies either. Their inability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies in clear violation of FDA protocols places women’s lives at risk and is a clear violation of the REMS requirements. As outlined in the FDA approved REMS document, prescribers of the abortion drug, Mifeprex (Mifepristone) must have the “ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies.” 

• See the Mifepristone REMS document here

Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) are required by the FDA, for the use of certain medications that carry a significant risk or, in the FDA’s own language, have inherent “serious safety concerns,” in order to mitigate some of that risk. As of December 31, 2018, there have been 24-reported  deaths connected with Mifeprex (Mifepristone) use. Two of these deaths were attributed to ectopic pregnancies resulting in death. 

Abortion Free New Mexico consulted a local OB-GYN about what should be done when caring for a patient with an ectopic pregnancy and continuity of care is at the top of the list. However, in a previous investigation,  Tara Shaver exposed that Southwestern Women’s Options doesn’t provide ongoing care for their patients, the only service they provide is abortions.

When asked whether or not annual well women’s exams like pap smears are offered, the answer was, “No.” When asked if they screen for sexually transmitted diseases, the answer once again was no.

• Investigation Shows that the Heart of Abortion Clinics Is Not “Healthcare”

“When a woman goes for an abortion at Southwestern Women’s Options, the abortionists are getting paid to do one thing, kill the baby, period. Curtis Boyd, Shelley Sella, Carmen Landau, and Shannon Carr named in our FDA complaint are not interested in providing ongoing legitimate OB-GYN healthcare because once the baby is dead then their job is done, but in the process many things related to the woman’s health can be missed or overlooked. An ectopic pregnancy is one of those life threatening complications that no-one suspects and that requires rigorous continuity of care including, ongoing blood serum monitoring and medical intervention if needed. Women going into Southwestern Women’s Options simply are not going to receive this type of quality health care,” stated Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico.

Additional FDA Violation

Through the course of this investigation SWO has also been found to be in violation of an additional FDA protocol by prescribing Mifepristone up to 11 weeks, which is 77 days gestation according to their website. 

Mifeprex was only approved by the FDA to be administered up to 70 days gestation. This additional violation of FDA protocol by the abortionists at Southwestern Women’s Options has also been included in the formal complaint filed by Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

Mifeprex was only approved by the FDA to be administered up to 70 days gestation. This additional violation of FDA protocol by the abortionists at Southwestern Women’s Options has also been included in the formal complaint filed by Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

237 Abortion Pill Mills Scattered Across America

According to AbortionDocs.org there are 237 abortion pill clinics across the United States that are exclusively prescribing Mifeprex. 

• Could it be that many if not all of these facilities are in violation of FDA protocols?

Abortion Free New Mexico has sent the information contained in our complaints to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and we call upon the Trump administration to do a thorough investigation to see if these abortion pill mills nationwide are  in violation of FDA protocols for prescribing the dangerous abortion drug Mifepristone.

By Bud Shaver

Santa Teresa, NM/ El Paso, TX- Effective collaboration, unity, fellowship and community are just some of the things that Abortion Free New Mexico and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, director of Life Ministries US experienced the past two days doing pro-life outreach in the borderland. The pro-life community of Southeastern New Mexico and El Paso were such a blessing as they welcomed us with open arms and fully recognized the need to work together in unison, complimenting each other in an effort to make their communities abortion free. Abortion Free New Mexico would also like to thank the Martin family from Rio Rancho who joined us for this trip to light up the darkness, our families combined totaled four adults and ten children, a truly powerful presence and witness for life.

Revealing Drive Along Schuster Ave.

As you exit I-10 onto Schuster Ave. in El Paso, Texas you immediately pass the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) on the left, directly past UTEP are the two hospitals where abortionist Theard delivers babies when he’s not killing other women’s babies, then on the right is his abortion mill “Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic”, 1000 feet away is El Paso High School. Each afternoon these high school students walk on the sidewalks right in front of Franz Theard’s abortion business as they make their way home. 

1500 feet in the other direction, Franz Theard has his very separate OBGYN practice, where Abortion Free New Mexico spent time each morning to let his patients know that he is an abortionist. Many were surprised and appalled. What woman would want an abortionist to deliver their baby? One mile up the road, with a scenic overlook, is Theard’s home. Being on the ground in El Paso and exposing Franz Theard’s abortion business helped us to see who his targeted client base is and how his grisly abortion business has infiltrated this part of El Paso.

Just 11 miles down I-10 and across the Texas/ New Mexico border is Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. This clinic is being strategically utilized to evade Texas abortion laws regarding minors. Theard readily sends minors to this clinic from his El Paso location and continues to put these girls lives at risk while prescribing the deadly abortion drug Mifepristone (RU486). 

• Previous report with undercover recording: Santa Teresa, NM: No Parent, No Problem 15 y/o TX Minor Obtains Abortion

Even though members of our group asked to meet and pray with him, Theard refused. This hardened heart, we hope, will change as we continue to reach out to him and educate the community about who he is and how his abortion businesses are bad for New Mexico and Texas.

After our visit, Southwest Coalition for Life Director, Mark Cavaliere, issued the following statement,

“We are extremely humbled and grateful to Abortion Free New Mexico for generously traveling from Albuquerque to invest two days of their time and expertise to help our local mission by drawing attention to El Paso abortionist Franz Theard’s FDA violations and double-life of delivering babies at his ObGyn office while killing them just a half mile down the road at his Hill Top abortion center. Their gracious collaboration and dedicated focus on accountability has helped to fill a void in El Paso which complements our specific ministry focus of crisis intervention through sidewalk advocacy and prayer, and Guiding Star El Paso‘s focus on crisis management through ongoing client care. We sometimes forget that unity does not mean uniformity, but God gives us each unique callings and talents to suffer and rejoice together as one Body (1 Cor 12:18-27).”

Snapshot of our extensive protest efforts that covered two states in two days!

Abortion Free New Mexico, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest and Southwest Coalition for Life join forces at Franz Theard’s OBGYN office located only a half a mile down the street from his abortion killing center.

Franz Theard is living a double life where he delivers babies at one location and kills babies at the other!

Residential protest combined with “Chalk and Awe” throughout Franz Theard’s posh neighborhood exposing that fact that Franz Theard has been making his money for decades off of the blood of defenseless children and that they have a killer living among them!

Abortion Free New Mexico, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest and Southwest Coalition for Life protested outside of two El Paso hospitals, The Los Palmas Medical Center and The Hospitals of Providence Memorial Campus, where abortionist Franz Theard has admitting privileges to deliver babies on the days he’s not killing them.

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico spoke to representatives of both hospitals to follow up with them since they refused to release a statement earlier this month. On both of their websites abortionist Franz Theard is listed as a “Physician affiliated” with their hospitals “in good standing”. While both hospitals confirmed that in fact Franz Theard does deliver babies at both hospitals.

Abortion Free New Mexico, Southwest Coalition for Life and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato director of Life Ministries US who’s “On the Road for Life” then teamed for prayer and protest in Santa Teresa, NM at Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic located just across the Texas border in New Mexico. Fr. Stephen Imbarrato lead Mass and prayers of minor exorcism on location!

Abortion Free New Mexico filed a joint complaint last week against abortionist Franz Theard with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal and state agencies regarding a violation of the Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) and prescriber agreement for the drug Mifeprex, also known as Mifepristone and the RU486 abortion pill. 

• You can see the full report, complaint, and undercover call here which was also featured on LifeNews.com and One News Now.

Tara Shaver spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

“We look forward to future outreaches in the Borderland to keep the pressure on Franz Theard and his abortion businesses. Abortion is bad for our communities and Abortion Free New Mexico is fully committed to honing in on the weak links of the abortion cartel in our state. Pregnant women, the residents of Santa Teresa and El Paso, and his colleagues deserve to know about Franz Theard’s abortion businesses and must be made aware that he has betrayed true medicine and is doing harm instead of healing.”

• One News Now interviewed Tara Shaver while we were on the ground in El Paso, TX and published the following report: Pro-lifers take issue with abortion-giving OB-GYN

Postcard Campaign…

In addition to being on the ground, Abortion Free New Mexico has mailed postcards throughout both communities in El Paso, TX and Santa Teresa, NM to both residences and businesses surrounding his abortion killing centers, his OBGYN office and both hospitals! 

ACTION ITEM: Abortion Free New Mexico is asking people to call Franz Theard and ask him to get out of the abortion business.

Albuquerque, NM- After Abortion Free New Mexico revealed that it has filed a formal FDA complaint against abortionist Franz Theard, local pro-life advocates from Southwest Coalition for Life have announced that he has not shown up to perform abortions this week! 

• You can see the full report, complaint, and undercover call here which was also featured on LifeNews.com and One News Now.

We will be traveling down to Southern New Mexico with Fr. Stephen Imbarrato of Life Ministries US and several other pro-life advocates from Albuquerque next week to join forces with the Southwest Coalition for Life!

In addition to our public presence on the ground in El Paso, TX and Santa Teresa, NM we are also mailing over 2,000 postcards throughout the two communities letting them them know about Franz Theard’s double life as an abortionist and OBGYN doctor delivering babies at TWO local hospitals!

• We urgently need your help to get these postcards in the mail TODAY and make this public awareness campaign a complete success!  Click here to make a tax-deductible donation.

Southwest Coalition for Life Director Mark Cavaliere issued the following statement,

“Abortion Free NM will be visiting the El Paso area September 16-17 as part of a public awareness campaign to help expose Theard’s double life as a notorious abortionist while also working for The Hospitals of Providence and Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare to deliver babies. Theard also has his own private obstetrics office just a half-mile down the road from his abortion center on Schuster. While his HilltopWomensReproductive.com website only offers abortion and does not use the word “baby” or his name, his ObGyn office has a separate website at DrTheard.com which includes his service of “guiding your baby into this world.”

As part of their public awareness, they will be holding multiple protests of Theard’s ObGyn office at 1201 Schuster, as well as at the two hospitals which employ the abortionist to deliver babies. Event details are listed below. Joining them also will be Fr. Stephen Imbarrato of Life Ministries US who will be offering Mass outside the Santa Teresa abortion facility at 5290 McNutt on Tuesday Sept 17 at 9AM as part of his 6-week On the Road for Life campaign across the nation.

The timing of this news is providential as we are ready to embark on our largest 40 Days for Life campaign yet! Your prayers and fasting are working to continue putting pressure on Hill Top which has been performing abortions for 35 years in El Paso. Let’s take advantage of this window of opportunity to make this our most fervent vigil yet and finally see the infamous Hill Top center shut down for good!”

• If you are in the Santa Teresa, NM/El Paso, TX area please join us for some or all of these events.
• If you are not in the area, please pray for our efforts and for Franz Theard to abandon his abortion businesses. 

Upcoming Events this Week…

Join us for Faith to Action Friday (September 13th) and for the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children (Saturday September 14th):

By Bud Shaver

Albuquerque, NM- As the fate of Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance, state legislatures across the country have passed some of the most extreme abortion bills ever seen. While states like New York and Illinois have swept away abortion restrictions, other states like Ohio and Alabama have passed abortion bans that could provoke the overturning of Roe. In New Mexico, this past legislative session, pro-life legislators from both parties put partisan politics aside and crossed the aisleto defeat the radical pro-abortion lobby’s attempt to overturn settled law in New Mexico. New Mexico representatives and senators defeated HB-51 and upheld a criminal abortion law that was passed by the state legislature in 1969. If the criminal abortion law was currently being enforced, New Mexico would not be known as the Late-Term Abortion Capital of the world.

On Saturday, September 14, local residents will gather to remind the community that abortion is not just a political issue. They will be marking the seventh annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children with a graveside memorial service at 10:00AM at Sandia Memory Garden (9500 San Pedro Drive NE Albuquerque, NM 87113).

“Too often, abortion is just seen as a political issue or a matter of personal choice, but abortion has real victims: the 60 million American children who have lost their lives to abortion since 1973,” said Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico, one of the organizers of the Day of Remembrance in Albuquerque. “In fact, you may be surprised to learn that some of those victims have been buried right here in Albuquerque.” 

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, director of Life Ministries US will share the background on the gravesite and the two babies that are buried here.

Shaver commented, “Visiting the graves of aborted children really puts these legislative battles into perspective. All the protests on one side and celebrations on the other, all the threatened boycotts and political posturing—none of it seems to matter when you realize that actual victims of abortion are buried right beneath your feet. These tiny children were never born. Never learned to walk. Never had a first day of school. They were never even given names by their parents so we the pro-life community give them their names and remember them.”

Of the 60 million victims of abortion since Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973, only a tiny fraction have received a proper burial, at gravesites scattered throughout the country. But all of them will be mourned on September 14 during memorial services at those gravesites and dozens of other memorial markers set up in their honor.

The memorial service on Saturday, in Albuquerque, will include prayer and messages led by:

• Pastor Gary Cowan of Calvary Chapel East
• Karen Murchison of Connection Church
• Fr. Stephen Imbarrato of Life Ministries US

Special guest speakers include former Lieutenant Governor candidate Michelle Garcia Holmes & Michael Hendricks who has just announced his candidacy for New Mexico House District 20.

The Day of Remembrance is being organized by three national pro-life groups—Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League—to humanize the unborn victims of abortion by raising awareness of their burial places. The bodies of tens of thousands of aborted children have been retrieved from trash bins, landfills and other locations and buried at more than 50 gravesites across the country.

At AbortionMemorials.com, visitors can learn the stories of how many of these children were killed, how they were found, and the details of their burial. The website also lists hundreds of memorial sites dedicated to the victims of abortion throughout the United States.

The first annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children was held in September 2013 to mark the 25th anniversary of the burial of several hundred abortion victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Memorial services were held at 38 burial places of abortion victims nationwide, as well as scores of other memorial sites dedicated to these children. The Day of Remembrance is now held annually on the second Saturday in September.

Albuquerque, NM- Abortion Free New Mexico has filed a joint complaint with local pro-life activist, Leisha Armijo Martin against abortionist Franz Theard (who operates at Hilltop Reproductive Health Clinic in Santa Teresa, New Mexico) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal and state agencies regarding a violation of the Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) and prescriber agreement for the drug Mifeprex, also known as Mifepristone and the RU486 abortion pill.

• Read the full complaint here

Theard FDA Complaint by Bud Shaver on Scribd

Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) are required by the FDA, for the use of certain medications that carry a significant risk or, in the FDA’s own language, have inherent “serious safety concerns,” in order to mitigate some of that risk. As of December 31, 2018, there have been 24-reported  deaths connected with Mifeprex (Mifepristone) use. Two of these deaths were attributed to ectopic pregnancies resulting in death. 

Mifepristone is the drug used on the first day of chemical abortion procedures which blocks progesterone, a necessary hormone during pregnancy. The blockage of progesterone essentially starves the newly formed baby of vital nutrients needed to survive. A second drug called misoprostol is given up to 48 hours later which causes cramping, bleeding and the ultimate loss of the pre-born child if there is no intervention. Some RU486 abortions can now be reversed if progesterone is supplemented throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.

In an undercover investigation, Abortion Free New Mexico called Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Clinic in Santa Teresa, New Mexico to determine whether or not they are compliant with the prescriber agreement required by the FDA to prescribe Mifeprex (Mifepristone). According to the receptionist, abortionist Franz Theard does not have the proper ultrasound to diagnose ectopic pregnancies, which is a clear violation of the REMS requirements. As outlined in the FDA approved REMS document, prescribers of the abortion drug, Mifeprex (Mifepristone) must have the “ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies.” 

• See the full Mifepristone REMS document here

In the call to Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Clinic, the caller asks, “Are you guys able to detect like an ectopic pregnancy if I came in for a procedure there?”

Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Clinic receptionist responds, “We do not have a vaginal ultrasound, the vaginal ultrasound would detect if it’s um ectopic.”

In the recorded phone call to Hilltop, the abortionist who performs the abortions, in clear violation of the FDA’s requirements, is identified as, “Doctor [Franz] Theard.”

• Listen to the call placed to Hilltop Reproductive Health Clinic here.

Despite the fact that Franz Theard is unable to detect and diagnose ectopic pregnancies, he is still prescribing Mifeprex (Mifepristone) and performing medical abortions up to 9 weeks gestation.

In the FDA complaint filed by Shaver and Armijo-Martin they request, “that the Sponsors (drug manufacturers) ensure that they have on file, a current, signed prescriber agreement form for Franz Theard M.D. who operates at Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Clinic located at, 5290 McNutt Road Suite 106, Santa Teresa, NM 88008 and ensure compliance prior to dispensing the drug to the dispensers in question. We are also requesting an FDA-audit on both the suppliers and the prescribers to the ensure safety of the consumers.”

The Weak Link: An Abortion pill mill that is violating FDA requirements

In 2017 Abortion Free New Mexico conducted an undercover investigation revealing that Franz Theard was utilizing Hilltop Reproductive Health Clinic located in New Mexico to circumvent Texas parental notification laws.

• Santa Teresa, NM: No Parent, No Problem 15 y/o TX Minor Obtains Abortion
• RELATED: Texas abortionist uses sister facility in New Mexico for abortions on underage girls

Hilltop’s website boasts that, “New Mexico does not have any of the major types of abortion restrictions regarding mandated parental involvement or limitations on publicly funded abortions—often found in other states.” This makes it so easy for Theard to instruct minors in Texas who don’t want their parents to know they are pregnant to cross state lines to obtain abortions using drugs that have long list of side effects and life threatening complications.

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

“Franz Theard is placing the lives of minors in jeopardy when he prescribes Mifepristone, the abortion pill, to his patients in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. He is doing this in violation of FDA requirements that are in place because this drug poses such a threat to the women who are receiving it. An ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed by a physician who then provides continuity of care to them, but abortion facilities simply aren’t in business to provide legitimate healthcare that protects both mom and baby, instead the lives of both are held in the balance. It is our hope that the FDA and other responsible agencies, as a result of our complaint, will investigate and act swiftly to make sure that Theard is no longer able to receive and administer Mifepristone, the deadly abortion drug, in southern New Mexico.”  

AbortionFreeNM.com

The Double Life of Franz Theard

Abortionist Franz Theard performs abortions in New Mexico and El Paso, Texas at Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Services. He also has an OBGYN practice just down the street from his El Paso abortion center where he does surgical abortions up to 15 weeks of pregnancy. Even though he went to school to become an OBGYN, just 4 years after Theard received his medical license he began performing abortions in the El Paso area. Theard has maintained hospital admitting privileges at two El Paso hospitals over the years, The Hospitals of Providence and Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare.

• Abortion Free New Mexico reached out to both hospitals for a comment and asked them if they were aware that they were giving admitting privileges to an abortionist but they both refused to give a statement.

Theard is caught in between two worlds and at some point they will collide. In fact, Theard’s dirty little secret isn’t completely under the radar as locals have informed Abortion Free New Mexico that Theard has been called to the hospital to assist with the delivery of a baby, but those in the community who know that he is an abortionist have refused to allow him to do so.

If these hospitals are only just now finding out about Theard’s abortion businesses, will they want to keep him in good standing? Will Theard be faced with a decision, to kill babies or bring them into this world?

What More Can Be Done?

Abortion Free New Mexico intends to visit Santa Teresa, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas this month to further inform both communities about who Franz Theard really is and to urge him to stop performing abortions. We also have a few other public awareness projects in the works!

Stay tuned…

Dear Friends, 

This past month we were blessed to return to Flagstaff, Arizona for some pro-life fellowship and a church presentation in the city where our pro-life journey began 12 years ago. Back then we were involved in an apartment ministry outreach when the Lord opened our eyes and heart to the injustice of abortion raging all around us that we were completely oblivious to. 

We made a commitment to our Lord not to remain oblivious nor silent any longer, twelve years later and we remain steadfastly engaged in ending America’s greatest injustice! Whether it’s traveling to Washington D.C. or joining you on the sidewalk for Faith to Action Friday, all of our efforts are working towards the goal of ENDING the killing of innocent pre-born children. Thank you so much for standing with us on our journey! Your prayers and support make our ministry efforts possible and bless our family.

Abortion Free New Mexico and the ABQ Tea Party protested radical pro-abortion congresswoman, Deb Haaland (D) at her re-election campaign kickoff hosted at the Albuquerque Museum (Saturday August 3, 2019).  

As a radical leftist, Deb Haaland went onCNN this month to defend Antifa, a group president Trump considers a domestic terrorist organization! Such a disgrace to our state. New Mexico needs leaders that oppose all violence and defends LIFE!

• Watch Deb Haaland on CNN: Democratic congresswoman calls antifa ‘peaceful protesters’

August 24, 2019- South Valley Albuquerque Walk for Life sponsored by Praise and Worship Center & Sonrise Church.

We were blessed to join the South Valley Walk For Life which started in prayer at Praise and Worship Center and ended in prayer at Sonrise Church and was saturated with prayer all along the 1.5 mile route and back!  These churches of South Valley Albuquerque are letting their light shine bright and redeeming our city by being a bold witness for Life in the name of Jesus.

After the South Valley Walk for Life, Praise and Worship Center opened their doors to feed, clothe, and serve the community by giving away free food, school supplies, tooth brush and hygiene care products, free hair cuts, health screenings and Abortion Free New Mexico registered voters for the upcoming 2020 election! 

Faith to Action Friday

This is what it looks like in Albuquerque, New Mexico to be a city on a hill, a community of believers shining bright, being the light of the world! It’s amazing that we had more churches and ministry leaders represented out on the sidewalk this month in front of UNM’s freestanding abortion killing center than pro-life organizations!  

Churches represented this month by their Pastors and ministry leaders for Faith to Action Friday: Praise and Worship Center, Connection Church, Calvary Chapel East, Olive Tree Messianic Community, Vertical Church, and the Catholic Church. Pro-Life organizations represented: Sidewalk Advocates for Life ABQ and Abortion Free New Mexico.

The University of New Mexico is at the heart of the abortion cartel in our state and uses our tax dollars to fund their radical abortion agenda and through NM medicaid that funds abortion 100%. ​

Now more than ever, we need to pray collectively, publicly, and strategically. Our presence has the ability to reform the University of New Mexico so that they get out of the abortion business! Abortion is their dirty little secret that must be exposed. We are the light of the world, so come on and join us and let your light shine bright for Christ and HIS babies!

Dear Friends, 

This July was packed full of so many blessings! Thanks to you we traveled many miles to Washington D.C. for two very important outreaches and Bud’s trial for the Red Rose Rescue he did in March. 

Bud’s mom stayed with our big kids while Tara was in D.C. and then remained until I returned on the 26th. We are both SO grateful that she spent almost the whole month in New Mexico and was such a huge help to Tara. While my mom was here Tara and I also celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary (and were actually able to have a date night.) 

So many blessings and so much to be thankful for. We especially thank God for you! Your faithful and fervent prayers on behalf of our family, our ministry and our state are so powerful. Your financial support keeps us in this battle for life. Every life is so precious to the Lord and so together we continue to move forward seeking justice for the babies. God bless you abundantly!

RED ROSE RESCUE CHARGES DISMISSED IN WASHINGTON D.C.

Red Rose Rescuer’s Bud Shaver, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato and Lauren Handy appeared in the Washington D.C. Superior court on July 23, 2019 for their March 19, 2019 Red Rose Rescue that took place at the notorious late term abortion center, Washington Surgi-Clinic. In a major victory, all charges against them have been dismissed.  Washington Surgi-Clinic performs abortions on babies beyond 27 weeks of pregnancy.

During a Red Rose Rescue devout Christians enter abortion facilities with red roses to distribute to pregnant mother’s that are present for their abortion appointments. Being present in the facility allows the rescuers to be prayerful and intentional as they sit with these women and urge them to leave and accept the help that is readily available to them. Red Rose Rescuers also serve to stand in solidarity with the babies that will be killed at the request of their own parents.

These rescues are just one way that Christians can heed the call of Christ to carry their own cross and follow him.

Bud Shaver issued the following statement,

“I am so thankful that the charges against us have been dismissed as myself, Fr. Stephen and Lauren Handy merely followed our conscience and acted on behalf of the innocent pre-born babies who die daily in our nation’s capital and across America. Instead of spending 7 days in jail, which was what I anticipated, we will continue to be with the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust for activism events in Washington D.C. and touring the White House. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for and supported us in our efforts.”

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato issued the following statement,

“I’m glad the Red Rose Rescue charges were dismissed because of course we did nothing wrong. We are merely trying to save babies and bring more attention in Washington D.C. to the daily mass murder of pre-born children that is sanctioned, protected and funded by our government. 

• Church Militant spoke with Bud Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato of Protest Child Killing.
• Full interview with Church Militant: DC JUDGE DISMISSES CASE AGAINST PRO-LIFE RED ROSE RESCUERS

“The glaring disproportional response by law enforcement in Michigan and Washington, D.C. to the peaceful Red Rose Rescue efforts highlights the constitutional crisis that Roe vs. Wade has created in America.”

Holy Nation Covenant Renewal

• Call to Repentance & Return to Holiness in our Nations’s Capital

A call to repentance and holiness is not always a welcome call for us as Americans but it is truly needed as we contemplate the blood of the innocents that continues to be shed daily in our nation. We were humbled to participate in this important event in our nation’s capital where it all began.

In unity we marched around the Supreme Court, the highest court in our land 7 times. Upon arrival of the coffin of the unknown baby, we knelt in prayer at the nations capital while the declaration of repentance was read. While our efforts were very much physical, we know that the Lord works through our efforts in the spiritual realm. Our prayer is that this is just the beginning and that more people will truly repent on behalf of our nation and pursue holiness. 

1 Peter 1:15-16 makes it clear what our calling is: 

“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Back from D.C. and Back to Work…

Special Report By Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue

Albuquerque, NM – A New Mexico woman who unknowingly suffered injuries that led to a hysterectomy after a bungled abortion filed suit against an Albuquerque abortion business last month for medical malpractice. 

But this is not just a run-of-the-mill abortion-related malpractice suit. This story takes surprising twists and turns into the dark world of aborted baby organ trafficking and a devastating personal family tragedy.

According to court records obtained by Operation Rescue, Nicole Atkins was 24-years old when she visited Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO), on December 27, 2010, for a consultation regarding an abortion in her second trimester of pregnancy. 

• Continue reading and view all associated documentation.

Just over six years later, misfortune would once again strike the Atkins family when Nicole’s sister, Keisha, would also seek a 24-week second trimester abortion at Southwestern Women’s Options.

Keisha’s abortion proved fatal.Her autopsy report was obtained by the pro-life group Abortion Free New Mexico,who was tipped off to the death by another family member.  Abortion Free New Mexico provided the report to Operation Rescue for review.

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico released the following statement,

“When Abortion Free New Mexico obtained the autopsy for Keisha Atkins and alerted the public to her death, back in 2017, we hoped that women would be shocked by this tragedy and choose life for their babies and for themselves. To learn that abortion has devastated this family more than once is heartbreaking. We hope and pray that Southwestern Women’s Options and those implicated in both Keisha’s death and her sister Nicole’s horrific botched abortion are held accountable. May those who learn about the true nature of abortion and all of it’s consequences reject this barbaric practice and affirm life so that our community may become a safe haven for the pre-born and their moms.”

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

“Abortion Free New Mexico and the Albuquerque (ABQ) Tea Party are hitting the ground running this campaign season to protest pro-abortion candidates and the party of death! If democrat candidates will not publicly disavow abortion and commit to supporting pro-life legislation in New Mexico then they should expect to be protested!”

• Where: Outside of Kelly’s Brew Pub (3222 Central Ave. SE)

RESPECT EXISTENCE OR EXPECT RESISTANCE

Created Equal and a coalition of Pro-life activist groups have announced that they will be protesting the Democratic debate on location in Detroit, Michigan this week on July 30th and 31st. Abortion Free New Mexico will be standing in solidarity with them by protesting the Democrat watch party hosted by Indivisible Nob Hill in Albuquerque!

ACCORDING TO CREATED EQUAL, Here are the platforms these democrat presidential candidates openly support, platforms that they will push to enact for all of America:

• Late term abortions; “support abortions later in the pregnancies”
• Publicly funded abortions; “supports using federal dollars to pay for abortions.”
• No limits on abortions; “block state restrictions on abortion”
• Born alive abortions; “no requirement for life saving interventions”

PROTEST #2: Abortion Free New Mexico and the ABQ Tea Party are protesting radical pro-abortion congresswoman, Deb Haaland (D) at her town hall hosted at the Albuquerque Museum this Saturday August 3, 2019 from 9:30am-10:30am.

• When: Saturday August 3, 2019 from 9:30am-10:30am
• Where: Outside of the Albuquerque Museum (2000 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104)
• Abortion Free New Mexico will have our NEW TRUTH TRUCK on location!
• Why? Deb Haaland is seeking re-election for Congressional District 1 and is a radical pro-abortion advocate and former Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairwoman.

​Deb Haaland issued the following statement to NARAL Pro-Choice America,

“I will be on the front lines in the fight for reproductive freedom, as I have been for decades. I’m running so that I can be a voice for women in New Mexico and in District 1 who feel like they have been sidelined – when it comes to reproductive freedom and access to contraception, the attack on women needs fierce, organized opposition. I will be there and I’m ready to take on the Administration and any judicial nominee who would threaten our access to abortion.”

Washington, D.C.- Red Rose Rescuer’s Bud Shaver, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato and Lauren Handy appeared in the Washington D.C. Superior court on July 23, 2019 for their March 19, 2019 Red Rose Rescue that took place at the notorious late term abortion center, Washington Surgi-Clinic. In a major victory, all charges against them have been dismissed.  Washington Surgi-Clinic performs abortions on babies beyond 27 weeks of pregnancy.

• Full report from Life Site News: DC judge dismisses charges against priest, activists who tried to save babies inside abortion center

During a Red Rose Rescue devout Christians enter abortion facilities with red roses to distribute to pregnant mother’s that are present for their abortion appointments. Being present in the facility allows the rescuers to be prayerful and intentional as they sit with these women and urge them to leave and accept the help that is readily available to them. Red Rose Rescuers also serve to stand in solidarity with the babies that will be killed at the request of their own parents. These rescues are just one way that Christians can heed the call of Christ to carry their own cross and follow him.

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato issued the following statement,

“I’m glad the Red Rose Rescue charges were dismissed because of course we did nothing wrong. We are merely trying to save babies and bring more attention in Washington D.C. to the daily mass murder of pre-born children that is sanctioned, protected and funded by our government. Looking ahead, we also hope and pray that pending charges against another Red Rose Rescue Team who went into Capital Women’s Services in D.C. on March 19th are also dismissed at their trial that is scheduled for September 19, 2019.”

CHARGES DISMISSED ​

“Red Rose Rescuers have charges dismissed in the morning for March 19th Rescue and return to the Cesar Santangelo Surgi-clinic location in the afternoon to pray. Bud, Lauren, and I are joined by Matt Connelly who has also rescued in DC and elsewhere.” Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, director of LifeMinistriesUS.org

Bud Shaver issued the following statement,

“I am so thankful that the charges against us have been dismissed as myself, Fr. Stephen and Lauren Handy merely followed our conscience and acted on behalf of the innocent pre-born babies who die daily in our nation’s capital and across America. Instead of spending 7 days in jail, which was what I anticipated, we will continue to be with the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust for activism events in Washington D.C. and for bowling at the White House. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for and supported us in our efforts.”

​​OAN: PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS STAGE RESCUE AT ABORTION CLINIC

By Bud Shaver

Albuquerque, NM- Last week during our peaceful Faith to Action Friday presence I witnessed a 180 conversion of a man who was convicted by our presence and what he saw on a sign. I was approached by this man who felt that he needed to point out how hypocritical pro-life Christians are. What drew him out to talk to me though was the image of a 20 week old abortion victim (photo below). He immediately began to lecture me about how horrific the image was and insisted that I needed to remove it. Coming face to face with the reality that abortion kills children is hard for many to swallow, it cuts to the core of a person.

While I wholeheartedly agreed with him about how tragic the image was, I explained to him that instead of censoring the true nature of abortion, what our community needs is to see abortion for what it really is and to then peacefully work to end it. As I stood in front of the University of New Mexico’sCenter for Reproductive Health abortion center, I also pointed out to him that our tax dollars are funding what he saw on the sign as well as an entrenched radical abortion agenda at this public institution. 

• It’s important to point out that he assumed/knew that we were Christians! (Because who else would peacefully confront our culture of death in the public square?)

As the conversation continued he proceeded to ask the typical three questions that the pro-abortion community loves to bring up to deflect the real issue at hand: 

1. How many children have we adopted?
2. Do you oppose war?
3. As a man you can’t have an abortion so why are you out here?

On the first question, I quickly pointed out that the pro-life community has the best track record of adopting children. I mentioned that the state of Alabama, which recently enacted a law banning virtually all abortions in the state, also leads the nation for adoption.

• Alabama Sets Record for Adoption, Shattering Common Pro-Choice Argument

I explained to him that we as a pro-life movement want to ban abortion outright because we really do care about all children. As I pointed to the abortion victim, I asked him “how can you claim to care about children if you support the brutal violence of abortion that this image alone depicts”?

He then abruptly shifted to asking why I wasn’t opposed to war and working to stop all wars. I simply agreed with him about the horror of war atrocities such as the killing of innocent people. I asked him to think about what is so tragic about war? He said “bloody violence” and then went on to point to the sign and say “Like that.” In that moment a light bulb turned on for him and he immediately saw my point about the atrocity of abortion. I pointed out to him that abortion is the biggest war that has ever been waged in our country and has killed the most innocent people, over 60,000,000 since 1973. This is the most preeminent injustice that we need to end as a nation. He agreed!

And just like that the conversation shifted again and he asked why as a man I was discussing abortion since men can’t have abortions? I have to admit I was waiting for him to ask that because it’s ALWAYS brought up! I responded, recently a presidential candidate brought up the fact that not only does he support a woman’s right to have an abortion but that he also supports a “trans” man’sright to have an abortion. 

I’m not kidding watch for yourself…

• Tucker: Democrats have officially gone insane
• Julian Castro: Transgender Men have ‘Right to Abortion Funds’

This fallacious argument of attacking men is officially over! If men can NOW have an abortion according to Julian Castro, then men can NOW openly talk about abortion.

Suddenly he said, “AHHH you support Trump” and walked away!

Though I never mentioned president Donald Trump, I guess the thought of supporting our president was more than he could handle and he walked away.

Over the past 12 years I have had untold numbers of conversations just like this one, however, this one was unique in that it wasn’t over…

This Abortion Victim Image Brought Him to His Senses and Back to Apologize!

Several minutes later I was surprised when this man came rushing back over with tears in his eyes asking for our forgiveness and stated, “I came over to you to point out how hypocritical you were and how you need to get that horrific sign out of here but now I realize I was the hypocrite and THAT sign made all the difference! Thank you for representing Jesus and Christianity so boldly!” 

He went on to confide in us that one of his girlfriends had gotten an abortion and that ever since, he felt that he needed to defend abortion. But now because of the sign and our conversation, he sees it as the true violence and injustice that it really is! We hugged and shook hands. I went on to tell him that the reason I always try to have an abortion victim image displayed during our prayer and outreach is because like with him, it changes minds instantly and saves lives when abortion minded women see what will really happens to their baby if they choose abortion.

Numerous women have told me personally that the abortion victim image was the only thing that convinced them not to have an abortion and stopped them even after driving hundreds of miles to come to Albuquerque for a late-term procedure…

It’s true that a picture speaks louder than words and pictures are a powerful educational tool against those who want to conceal and sterilize the term abortion. Instead of some vague misunderstanding about abortion as a controversial issue never to be mentioned, people must have these pictures in their mind as the impetus for demanding that this violent injustice to end.

Washington D.C.- On July 4, 2019 President Donald J. Trump issued one of his best speeches, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, beautifully detailing the American struggle for freedom, liberty, and justice for all over our 243 year history. The quote from George Washington that he shared during this speech, came at the time when the continental army was surrounded and facing insurmountable odds. They had recently declared their independence and the stakes could not have been greater. The British army was eager to crush the American resistance in its infancy.

On August 27, 1776 General George Washington stated,

“The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission.”

That American spirit of triumph over adversity in the pursuit of a brighter future for all has fueled past generations to overcome their deeply entrenched cultural grievances. 

While we have come so far as a nation, there is still one class of Americans mentioned prophetically by George Washington that has even greater significance today in 2019.

• “The fate of unborn millions now depend on [our] courage and conduct.”

Bud Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement after the Red Rose Rescue held in Washington D.C. on March 19, 2019,

“I appeal to President Donald Trump in hopes that he will continue to lead the charge in changing the heart of our nation so that our laws can be reformed to protect pre-born life in the womb. While we anticipate the overturning of Roe vs.Wade, we eagerly urge you to issue a presidential executive action through a Personhood Proclamation to give constitutional protection and personhood to the pre-born.”

See below a well written opinion piece that was recently published in the Albuquerque Journal by our friend and fellow pro-life activist Sid Gutierrez that emphasizes the need for personhood and protection of unborn millions, the last unprotected group in America.

Unborn the last unprotected group 

(This article was published in the Albuquerque Journal on June 17, 2019)

By SID GUTIERREZ, RETIRED ASTRONAUT 

The debate over abortion, interrupted by a Supreme Court decision almost half a century ago, is finally beginning anew. And it will not go away until some sort of a national consensus is achieved. Some are attempting to achieve this consensus by articulating reasoning based on science and enumerated rights in the Constitution. A quick review of videos on the Internet confirms that others have not moved beyond yelling, bullying and outright violence. Since we know the latter will not result in consensus, let’s look at the science and enumerated rights.

The science is clear. The fetus is a human being. The standard medical text “Human Embryology and Teratology” states, “Although human life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is formed.” The textbook “The Developing Human” states, “Human life begins at fertilization.” I could add 40 more references.

Abortion-rights author David Boonin in his book “A Defense of Abortion” acknowledges, “A human fetus after all is simply a human being at a very early stage of development.”

So, if the consensus is to be based on science and morality, the decision is simple. Taking an innocent human life is immoral. There is no justification. A child is not responsible for the circumstances for her conception, so rape, incest, poverty and being unwanted are not grounds for taking a human life. Likewise, mental illness or physical deformities are not justification for killing a human being.

But Roe v. Wade was not based on morality. Justice (Harry) Blackmun claimed to base it on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. This created a sticky situation since the 14th Amendment explicitly states, “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Justice Blackmun acknowledged this in Roe v. Wade when he wrote: “The (state of Texas) argue(s) that the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, (Jane Roe’s) case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”

This – the question of personhood – is the core issue to be resolved in this debate over abortion. All other issues are used by one side or the other to distract from the central question. Based on the words of the author of the Roe v Wade decision, if the fetus is a person, then the fetus is protected in all circumstances by the 14th Amendment.

So, the question we need to resolve and reach a consensus on is actually very simple: We know a fetus is a human being, the question is: Are all human beings persons? And if not a person, what would this human being be?

History gives us some possible answers. In the infamous Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court found a human being – a slave – to be property. During much of the early history of our country, owing to their non-person status, Native Americans were almost exterminated. But on issues of human rights, history says Americans eventually get it right. If we can agree that all humans are persons, we can resolve this divisive issue and finally bring protection to the last unprotected group – the unborn.

Albuquerque, NM- July 4th is a day where America comes together to celebrate our freedom that so many have fought and sacrificed their all and paid the ultimate price to defend. In 1776 men and women defied tyranny and forged a new independent nation founded on Christian values and Biblical precepts. 

• Many of our Founding Fathers graduated from seminaries, and were considered church elders/church officers when they penned the Declaration of Independence.

“Three pence per pound” 

…that was the final straw that sparked the “Tea Party” (America’s first and most famous) protest and our independence as a nation! The American colonies were being taxed without representation and our (Christian leader) forefathers finally said enough!
Fast forward to 2019: $17,000 tax funded ABORTION… In New Mexico we are being forced to fund abortion with our tax dollars!  

• Watch: $17,000 for a late-term abortion at 37 weeks in New Mexico

In fact, the University of New Mexico is the heart of the abortion cartel in our state and they are using our tax dollars to fund their radical abortion agenda…

• What is your final straw?

Today we should celebrate our freedom with our friends and family, and tomorrow join us as we exercise our freedom of speech and assembly in defiance of the tyranny and oppression of abortion!

Faith to Action Friday 

Join Abortion Free New Mexico and local pro-lifers from a wide diversity of groups this Friday (July, 5 2019) at the UNM- Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH) abortion killing center from 9-10AM (MT). 

• Watch Bud’s Interview discussing the University of New Mexico on Infowars: State Of New Mexico Caught Trafficking Aborted Baby Parts

Now more than ever, we need to pray collectively, publicly, and strategically. This Friday you can do just that. Not only do the women and families entering UNMCRH need our love and resources, but your presence is needed so that the community will know how their tax dollars are being used, your presence also has the ability to have an economic impact on the surrounding businesses so that they stand up and kick UNMCRH out, and your presence can also help reform the University of New Mexico so that they will get out of the abortion business!

Let’s stand together for life and strategically step out in faith to transform our community.

• Join us  for “Faith to Action Friday” on July 5, 2019 from 9-10AM
• The UNMCRH free standing abortion clinic is located at 2301 Yale Blvd in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
• Parking is available on Renard (off Yale)
• ​Everyone is welcome to join us for this peaceful presence.​

If you can not join us this Friday, we still need your help.

• Do you know any UNM alumni that are pro-life? 
• Do you know any pro-life business owners that financially support UNM? 
• We are launching a campaign “Not My Money, Not My UNM”
• Click here if you would like to help.

UNM is at the heart of the abortion cartel in New Mexico, as a publicly funded institution UNM consistently promotes a culture of death and is actively training the next generation of abortionists…

• Please read and share our undercover videos and reports: UNM and Tax Funded Abortions in New Mexico

If you can’t join us this Friday, please keep our efforts in your prayers that hearts will be touched and eyes will be open to the truth about abortion in New Mexico.

Dear Friends, 

Thank you so much for standing with us for LIFE in New Mexico! June marked 9 years of ministry for us in New Mexico. 

• FLASHBACK JUNE 14, 2010: Operation Rescue Sends Pro-life Missionaries To Albuquerque

Thanks to your prayers and support we are still going strong!

This month, our family joined our friends the Martin’s (new leaders of Sidewalk Advocates for Life ABQ) for a special prayer and repentance service in Mountainair, NM. This community is taking seriously the spiritual implications of the illegal abortions that were performed there and how a culture of death is impacting them so many years later. 

• Stay tuned for all the details in an expose coming soon… 

As a missionary family we are always blessed to have the opportunity to connect with local Christians who are passionately engaging our community with the gospel of Christ and are committed to pray and work alongside us as we strive to build an Abortion Free New Mexico. Believing together, that our God is able to transform this city and state as we boldly step out in faith.

We had a table this month in Valencia County, south of ABQ, to meet folks attending a fundraiser for the Federated Republican Women whose primary goal is to elect pro-life candidates. We met lots of new friends and had a raffle for a pro-life bundle that included the book “Abortion Free” written by our friends Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue.

 PRO-LIFE WITNESS RADIO SHOW, YOU ARE THE SOLUTION

Tara and I have pretty much done a little of everything over the past 9 years of pro-life ministry here in Albuquerque, New Mexico… including hosting our own Pro-Life Radio Show! This wasn’t an online based show but a live weekly radio show hosted locally in Albuquerque on El Camino ABQ Radio AM 1310!

• Check out Archives of the Pro-Life Witness Radio Show that include interviews with Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue and Mark Harrington of Created Equal

New Mexico is known nationally as theLate-Term Abortion Capital of the World, and while there really hasn’t been any legislative solutions to stop abortions, we discuss stats with Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest on our radio show back in 2014 that indicate that there has been significant decrease in abortions in New Mexico (from 2010-2014) that can ONLY be attributed to faithful pro-life public awareness campaigns and sidewalk counseling efforts over the years. We also discuss the University of New Mexico’s radical abortion agenda.

• Listen to the full show with our special guest: Fr. Stephen Imbarrato of Life Ministries U.S. 

While we may be powerless to stop all abortions in New Mexico legislatively we can end abortion ONE WOMAN, ONE BABY, ONE DAY AT A TIME; standing together in solidarity bringing the love and unity of Christ out to the abortion killing centers in our community! This month we continued our prayerful, public outreach out at the University of New Mexico’s freestanding abortion killing center, UNM Center for Reproductive Health.

Faith To Action Friday

Abortion Free New Mexico was joined by Sidewalk Advocates for Life ABQ, Abolish Human Abortion ABQ, the Knights of Columbus, Connection Church, Olive Tree Messianic Fellowship, Calvary Chapel East and other pro-life groups and Churches for public prayer and outreach this month. 

• Light up the darkness and transforming culture through unified prayer and action…

UNM is at the heartof the abortion cartel in New Mexico, as a publicly funded institution UNM consistently promotes a culture of death and is actively training the next generation of abortionists through the Ryan Residency training program.

Look What Survivors Camp Did For Us!

Twelve years ago in 2007 our lives were forever changed! Tara and I were working in an apartment ministry in Flagstaff, Arizona when we went to Spirit West Coast with a group of college students. After watching our favorite Christian bands…  

Tara simply took information at a pro-life booth and the rest is history!   

Driving back to Flagstaff, AZ from San Diego, California our hearts were penetrated with the reality of the Abortion Holocaust that has taken 1/3rd of our generation!

We prayed a simple prayer, 

 “Lord we commit our lives to your service to work to end this grave injustice until you call us home with you, or until abortion is ended in America. Use us as you see fit we humbly pray.”

The pro-life booth that Tara took information from was Survivors of the Abortion Holocaustand in addition to pro-life facts, it included an invitation to their annual pro-life training camp. We attended their camp in 2007 and our lives have never been the same. We never looked back and have been fulfilling our commitment to God, to work to end abortion, ever since! 

After attending the pro-life training camp in 2007 we moved to Riverside California in 2008 to work with Survivors as assistant Directors of the Campus Life Tour where we toured the country visiting over 180 college campuses and High Schools from 2008-2009. After that, we moved to Wichita Kansas to work as interns with Operation Rescue from 2009-2010 and have been full-time pro-life missionaries working in Albuquerque New Mexico from 2010 until the present (2019).
